1 into this desensitizing, not necessary warning?
Page 187
2 A I wouldn't put this in the desensitizing
3 category.
4 Q Okay. And would such a, would a warning
5 regarding wearing a respirator when handling brake pads
6 that had asbestos in them in the 1990s be such a
7 warning?
8 THE WITNESS: Can I hear that again?
9 (Record read.)
10 THE WITNESS: It depends on the situation. If
11 you expected that exposures could be anywhere near the
12 PEL then it would be an appropriate warning.
13 BY MR. RUCKDESCHEL:
14 Q And if you didn't expect exposures to be
15 anywhere near the PEL would it be an inappropriate
16 warning?
17 A Not necessarily inappropriate, I just think it
18 would have to be done judiciously.
19 Q Okay. Are any of the activities that you,
20 Dr. Dennis Paustenbach, would expect a brake mechanic
21 to do in 1990s, in the 1990s create in your mind an
22 expectation that there could be exposure levels
23 anywhere near the PEL?
24 THE WITNESS: Could you read that back?
