Re: Malcom Lee Murphy Jr. v. OCF et al.
Dear Mr. Arnold:
_
I have reviewed the deposition testimony given by Mr. Murphy in the above-cited matter, as well as the discovery documents forwarded to me under cover letters dated February 21 and March 9 of this year. Based on review of these documents, and information available in the open literature, I was able to estimate Mr. Murphy's asbestos exposure over his working lifetime. Further, given the information provided by the Elliott Turbo Machinery Company (ETMC), I was also able to estimate an asbestos exposure over the same time period resulting from his personal contact and work with these devices. These data and information support the conclusion that Mr. Murphy's lifetime exposure to asbestos, which resulted from handling, installing and repairing Elliott turbines was virtually nil, that if it occurred at all was so low as to result in a mesothelioma risk approximating zero.
General Occupational History
Mr. Murphy testified that his career in boiler and turbine installation essentially began at age 13 years, just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, At that time he worked for his father and he states that he experienced both direct and indirect exposure to asbestos-containing dusts. This likely began with onset of employment, circa 1941. During this time, 1941-1943, he worked principally during the summer months, attending school during the rest of the year. He experienced "hands on" work, getting his "hands dirty." From the mid-1940s until the early- T
980s Mr. Murphy was involved in both boiler and turbine installation in power plants, sugar refineries, and other places. Although his work involved mechanical aspects of installation, history of insulation rip out and installation was also given. Mr. Murphy reported throughout discovery deposition that he worked with, and was exposed to, insulating block, pipe insulation, cements, Transite panel, gunning mixes, and gaskets.
Alleged Asbestos Exposure.
Mr. Murphy alleges both direct and bystander exposure to asbestos-containing products during
his working lifetime. He stated he was exposed to asbestos-containing products when "...taking it off ,. I was probably more exposed to asbestos than any other time ... you can't work around while they're building a steam plant and not be exposed to some insulation ... observed insulation going on,.." etc On the 62 job-sites he recorded, some 127 insulating products were specifically identified in plaintiffs answers to interrogatories, for example, 20 asbe&cos-containing cements, 8

P . 02
brand named pipe insulations, 9 brand n^med block. Elliott turbines were cited to have been
installed at six of the 103 installations named.
>
The thermal system insulation materials-:cited by Mr. Murphy as introduced into his working
environment included virtually every common asbestos-containing product marketed in the
United States. T-Es testimony asserts thM his working environment approximated that of an insulation worker He stated that he personally experienced and undertook tear-off of insulation
for the recovery of used boilers, and experienced working in cramped enclosures such as in
steam tunnels. He further alleged that h$ commonly experienced exposure to fugitive dust
(bystander exposures) at worksites where other trades applied insulation and undertook these
same activities.
^
Calculation ofExposure to Asbestos from Insulating Products.
f'
Given Mr Murphy's testimony, the first 20 years of his full-time occupational history is estimated to have involved direct exposure to insulation products 10% of the time (4 hours, or one-half day per week). Exposure during this time period may have reached the median value for a construction insulation worker, or about 12.5 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (estimated by Dr. William Nicholson as between 10 ami 15 fiber per cubic centimeter of air as an 8-hour timeweighted average). This exposure resulf| in a yearly cumulative exposure ofabout 1.25 fiber-cc-
year. Twenty years work under these conditions results in a lifetime cumulative exposure of 25 fiber-cc-years. As a bystanderMr, Murphy's exposure is estimated to have experienced about 1% of the median value, but over his entire occupational history of 40 years. This calculates to about 5 fiber-cc- years. Thus Mr. Murphy's total lifetime exposure to asbestos released from insulating products calculates to about 30 fiber-cc-years
Calculation of Exposure to Asbestos from Elliott Turbines.
Mr, Murphy testified in deposition on November 18 1999 that he installed or worked on several Elliott turbines over his working lifetime. Among these 2 were installed in Stillwater Oklahoma, 3 units in foreign countries, and I was worked on in his employer's plant. The Stillwater instillation included construction of piping connections. The insulation o. uie pipe system was subcontracted to another firm. He stateshe was exposed as a bystander to dust generated from asbestos-containing block, pipe and cements. On another occasion during testimony he stated that Elliott did not sell insulation with their turbine but rather "... we didn't buy the insulation and lagging, we made our own."
Elliott turbines came to the installation site assembled, "shipped as a complete unit.'" Start up instructions included proper pad and pipe construction, exposure and inspection of mechanical parts prior to operation, bearings inspection, oiling instructions, hand-cranking of movable parts prior to machine-driven operation, replacement of covers to interior compartments, beginning operation of system under power (see Elliott Mechanical Drive Turbine Instructions AY, BY, CY, Books #s 46 and 60). The asbestos, contained within these systems consisted of packing in the governor assembly In which the packing was compressed under the stem-packing nut. None of the packing material was exposed (s$e, e.g., mechanical drawing Figure 3, page 6, Instruction Book # 46). Further, a work order frorr|the Murphy Boiler Company indicated that repair of the governor assembly involved one hour qfjwork. There is no indication that any asbestos-

P. 01
containing element contained within the Elliott turbines was ever exposed. Further, Elliott did not furnish insulation for any of its turbines, at least those that required insulation, but rather left this matter to the discretion of the installation contractor. The total asbestos exposure resulting from handling Elliott turbine closely approximated zero.
Even during repair of the governor assembly, both graphite- and Teflon- impregnated packing was available for use. Simulation study .|fgraphite-impregnated packing in our laboratory yielded an 8-hour time-weighted average for fiber release ofless than 0.001 fibers per cc ofair Consider work on 80 Elliott turbines in which one hour is involved in governor installation, repair, etc. These ten full days of contact results in a cumulative exposure of 0.0005 fiber-years. This value, a "worst case" scenario, would represent the entire contribution that Elliott turbines made to Mr. Murphy's total asbestos exposure.
Exposure Contribution from Elliott Turbines
Compare the cumulative asbestos exposure from insulation products, estimated at 30 fiber-years, with the cumulative asbestos exposure from Elliott turbines, estimated at 0.0005 fiber-years. The differential is about 60,000. Exposure to chiysotile in the ambient air ofcities calculates to orders of magnitude greater exposure. Further, fiber type adds to the disparate risk differential.
Conclusion.
Ic
_f
Elliott turbines presented virtually no risk of asbestos disease, especially mesothelioma, to Mr.
Murphy. The calculated risk of mesothelioma, based on dose and fiber type, approaches one-in-
a-million.
