2 MR. IGNATOWSKI: Objection.
3 Q All right.
4 I want to move on to the Dr. Merewether
j
5 study back in 1930, and, again, we all know he is
6 dealing with the asbestos factory.
7 Am I right, Doctor, after that was published
8 for the whole world to see, that asbestos wasn't
;
9 banned?
10 A No, it is still not banned.
,
11 Q Right.

12
Am I correct that, as a result of that act,
;
13 England passed what is known as the Factory and
14 Workshop Act?
15 A Actually, I think that preceded Merewether's
16 publication.
17 Q Basically what that said is when you are
18 working with asbestos in dusty areas, you have to keep
19 the dust levels down?
20 A Yes, they passed a law that tried to control
21 dust within factories.
