He may testify as to the applicability of the OSHA and Environmental Protection Agency's guidelines as they relate to various types of products including gaskets and packings. He may testify as to exposure that may result from the use of other types of asbestos products. Mr. Birkner has personal knowledge of relevant facts but is also an expen based upon his specialized knowledge, skills, and training. Mr. Birkner may testify about the size, construction, layout and working environment of facilities such as where the plaintiffs worked. He may testify about the nature of the working environment in such locations. He may testify about his knowledge, of the composition and asbestos content, if any. of the products and may testify concerning the ability of such products to emit asbestos fiber under certain conditions. He may testify generally as to the industrial hygiene state-ofthe-art. He may testify to the dust levels produced by particular insulation operations and products, including pipe and block insulation. He may also address insulator union knowledge of asbestos hazards, the historical development of the use of respirators in association with the use of asbestos-containing products. He may testify about whether the some products identified are capable of emitting respirable asbestos fibers of type or quantity that could have substantially contributed to the plaintiffs alleged asbestos-related condition. He may testify about applicable governmental standards and regulations. He may also testify as to any matter raised by experts called by the plaintiff or any co defendants. Birkner may testify regarding an individual's risks or exposure to asbestos from different media, including, but not limited to. ambient air, industrial products and occupational settings. Birkner may testify concerning: (1) circumstances in occupational settings that may result in direct exposure for persons having contact with asbestoscontaining products or equipment with asbestos insulation, and (2) circumstances that may result in bystander exposure for those nearby others having contact with asbestos containing products or equipment with asbestos insulation. Birkner may testify about industrial hygiene principles and methodologies used to determine potential hazards due to asbestos exposure. Mr. Birkner will discuss the development of warnings through society and the development of attitudes about what should be stated in warnings. He will also testify about the importance of the development of warnings ideas as they relate to asbestos. Mr. Birkner may create an exposure evaluation in this case. He may create a retrospective exposure assessment for the plaintiff in this case, for any of the products, for a co-worker, or for a job site. He may create an exposure assessment using another method. In creating the exposure analysis. Mr. Birkner may rely upon scientific and industrial articles and papers which reveal the various exposure for various products in various settings. In doing his assessment, he may rely upon the plaintiff's testimony, the testimony of co-workers and family members, and personal visits he has made to the same or similar sites, photographs which reveal relevant information, summaries or affidavits, actual dust counts from the same or similar activities, answers to \CCK\Camcron'A'illarreal Johri\CTL> hxpcn Li>i aoc interrogatories, from this and other cases which reveal relevant facts, including the fiber content and fiber tvpe of various products. and information revealed through conversations with other industrial hygienists and scientists which are of a kind which industrial hygienists usually rely upon. Mr. Birkner will testify that he has examined documents from Johns Manville and other manufacturers of asbestos products. He has reached the conclusion that Johns Manville was clearly one of the world's leader in the production of raw fiber asbestos and the production of asbestos-containing products. He has also reached the conclusion that John's Manville was clearly the North American leader when it came to the use of asbestos in products which were going to be offered for sale to purchasers in the United States. He will testify that in the 1930's. Johns Manville's role within the asbestos industry towered above the roles of any other company. Johns Manville mined, milled and sold raw asbestos fibers. This fiber was also used in many of Johns Manville's own asbestos containing products. US Gypsum never mined or milled or sold any raw asbestos. Mr. Birkner believes that "state of the art documents and articles" shows that Johns Manville was involved with and contributed to several scientific research studies in the 1930's at the Saranac Laboratories. Mr. Birkner believes that the Saranac Laboratory had been a tuberculosis institute during the 1930's, and that it was noted for its scientific research. In particular. Dr. Gardner, the Saranac director, was an imminent dust researcher. With respect to one of the studies of asbestosis, Mr. Birkner believes that once the research was commenced, US Gypsum was approached by Johns Manville and the other original sponsors to further spread the cost of the research study of asbestosis in the 1930's. He will testify that US Gypsum signed on for the total contribution of $750.00. paid out at $250.00/yr over three years. He will also testify that "state of the an" documents clearly show that Johns Manville had a very close relationship to Raybestos Manhattan, an these two companies closely followed the progress of this asbestosis study. Mr. Birkner will testify that the research that US Gypsum agreed to support was very narrow in scope and sought specific answers to specific questions. He will testify that the research immediately got off schedule and stayed off schedule for the entire length of the project. He will testify that WWI1 interrupted the research which had been begun at Saranac, and that the research continued to be behind schedule. Mr. Birkner will testify that as this country developed more industrial needs and additional manufacturing capability, the nation needed an increased need for the generation of electricity. Mr. Birkner will testify that it was necessary to build power plants for the production of that energy, and that it was necessary to build chemical and petro-chemical facilities, all of which required asbestos insulation. Mr. Birkner has examined catalogues, documents, and other papers, which show that Johns Manville and f- \CCK\Cameron\\'iIiaru,al JohmCTD Expert List.doc - 36 other companies (not US Gypsum) were the principal suppliers of asbestos insulation and were the chief beneficiaries of the increased work in this area. Mr. Birkner will testify that "state of the art" documents show that the sales of pipe insulation, block, and cement skyrocketed through the late 1930's. He will testify that in 1941. when the war started, the United States Government required the use of asbestoscontaining insulation in the construction of ships for manufacture of war. This construction would have required use of asbestos-containing insulation products and resulted in 100,000 shipyard workers being exposed to this product. He will testify that the "state of the art" documents show that during the construction of ships, the principal asbestos products which were used were asbestos containing pipe covering block and cements manufactured by Johns Manville and the others mentioned in this statement. Based upon review of company documents US Gypsum products were not appropriate for use on ships and were never intended to be uses in ship construction or repair. In contrast Johns Manville made a number of high temperature insulation products that would have been used in ship construct and repair. He will testify that US Gypsum joint compound was not the kind of product which insulators or boilermen would use in their work. He will testify that Johns Manville. and the other asbestos containing thermal insulation manufacturers, were the largest in market share and dominated the US market for use of asbestos. Mr. Birkner will testify about the whole Saranac history and documents, the National Cancer Institute, and the development of writings about lung cancer ^s it relates to asbestos exposure. He will testify that from "state of the art documents" lung cancer was a rare disease in the 30's and 40's and distinguish it from the notoriety of today. He will testify that any protection from cancer was little known to industrial hygienists in the 40's and 50's and was based upon knowledge of protection of workers for asbestosis. He will testify that the Doll Study in 1955 on cigarette smoking and also on asbestos was a significant but not final development in the evolution of information about the causes of cancer. He will testify that in later 1959, some Union officials approached Doctor Selikoff because they (the Union officials) (and their workers) were in a unique position to see that for some reason the insulation workers were having an increased amount of disease. He will testify that because of the data available on the workers from the Union. Selikoff began to study the workers in the insulator's union. He will testify that in 1963. he developed initial information that indicated that insulation workers were at a higher risk of death from job site asbestos exposure. The witness will testify that the first people Selikoff reported this information to were the insulation workers and their unions, and that this information was reported to them prior to publication in National medical journals. He will testify that the Asbestos Worker Magazine, a magazine that was directed to all union asbestos insulators, earned the information that the workers who worked with asbestos insulation were subject to disease. He will testify that based on this information, the 1964 Conference was organized. Mr. Birkner will testify that thermal insulation was the focus of all the medical and scientific concern and not joint compound. F \CCR\Camcron\\'illarrcji. John\CTD Expen List.doc 6;.
