1 asbestos in some individuals to cause that disease Page 1750 2 that you can't take a chance. 3 Q How about in a situation where witnesses 4 have described about a presence or finding of asbestos 5 or above background level, how about in a case such as 6 Mr. Grewe's where there isn't any tissue to make that 7 determination? 8 A Then I think you are just faced with the 9 probability or the cause and effect relationship. And 10 I think there is so much evidence that asbestos is the 11 primary cause of most cases of mesothelioma, that if 12 you have an individual, and I have said this many 13 times before, who has mesothelioma and had a history 14 of exposure to asbestos in an occupational or 15 paraoccupational setting or even a bystanding setting 16 like we see in a number of women, it is that that 17 mesothelioma was caused by asbestos. 18 Q Now, you mentioned asbestos bodies. 19 Is there any relationship between the 20 finding of asbestos bodies and the number of uncoated 21 fibers in the lung?
