8 A Yes. Maybe a little bit higher. I mean, we

10 the Finland study, the Hong Kong study, the study in
11 Pennsylvania.
12 All of those studies indicate that the
13 time-weighted average exposure for garage mechanic
14 would be less than .05 fiber per cc.
15 Q Well, we are going to get to those studies
16 in just a moment. But for the moment, you do agree,
17 do you not, sir, that in this NIOSH study that there
18 was very little brake work going on when they did this
19 study that you rely on?
