sworn, was examined and testified as follows: DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. DAVIES: Q. Good morning, Doctor. A. Good morning.
Q. You understand, do you not, that this is a continuation of your deposition which we began on
January 3, 1996, and that you are still under oath? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Have you had an opportunity to read the transcript
of that January 3 deposition?
A. No. I have not.
Q. You don't have it in your possession?
A. I have got -- I had returned -- 1 think there were some documents, or a copy, and had the documents returned. But I didn't get a copy of the
transcript.
Q. When we adjourned last time you had provided to me
copies of two different reports, both dated in March of 1995, which had to do with some testing
Dr. Dement
PAGE 7
that you had performed. Have you done any additional testing other than what is outlined in those two reports? A. No. I have not. Q. I'm sure you recall that during our last session we had a discussion of a whole series of articles on which you will rely, at least in part, for the opinions that you will give in this case. Are there any other articles that you care to bring to my attention today on which you will rely for your
opinions, other than what we have already talked about? A. Well, I guess since the deposition, there are a couple of things that appeared in the literature. It's not directly related to welding rods, but it has to do with asbestos. One is a study of mesothelioma looking at tissues from Canadian
cases. And I think Raymond Begin is the second author
of the paper. I'm not sure who the first author is. Q. Could you spell that for us? A. B-e-g-i-n. And all it was was analysis of tissues
Dr. Dement
PAGE 8
of mesothelioma cases, some of which had been asbestos, some had been -- and some were different industries in Canada. And the gist of the analysis and conclusions were that the fiber types of concentrations varied between amphraboles and
crysotyle. And in terms of causality in any one case, it
could have been one or more fiber types. In some
cases, for example, crysotyle was higher than the amphraboles. In some cases, the amphraboles were higher than crysotyle. And you may have told me where that appeared, and I missed it. It was published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, I believe, was where it was published. And is that an article,that appeared in 1996? I think actually the publication date was either early 1996 or end of 1995. One other article that is more of a review article is by Leslie Stayner. Could you spell that last name? S-t-a-y-n-e-r. He is with NI0SH. And it again addresses the carcinogenicity of crysotyle, and its

which is Exhibit No. 2, dated March 14, 1995. And I think we agree that those numbers go from 1
through 52. Correct? Yes. And then the second report, which is Exhibit No. 1,
dated March 29, we have used letters. And those letters run A through P. Correct? Yes. That is correct. Let me ask you to turn. Doctor, if you would, to Page 52 of the earlier report. Yes. Exhibit No. 2? Exhibit No. 2. Yes. My understanding is that this is a sketch of the test equipment that you used. Is that correct? Yes. It is. And did you prepare the sketch yourself? I think Courtney drew it. Courtney is my graduate
student. And I think Courtney drew the sketch. And when you say "Courtney," you are referring to
Courtney Smith? Yes. And her name, I believe, appears on the -- on Page No. 1 of that report. Is that correct?
Lori Todd is a faculty member in the school of public health at UNC.
And what was her role in the testing? Well, her role, primarily, was in the original set
up of this test chamber. It was set up for some other work. So Lori leased the boxes out. So she was primarily involved in setting up that box
originally. Was she present when any of the testing was done? I don't believe so. No. When you say she was involved in the set-up of the box, could you give me a little more detail on that? Did she construct it, for example? Or what exactly did she do? A. No. We -- the box is used for some other work at the school over in one of the labs. And we sat down probably two years ago and essentially designed the layout of the box, how the air filtration would work, how it would be filtered and that type of thing. Well, is it the case, then, that she really had
nothing to do with the actual testing of the rods? That is correct.

Yes. That is correct. Can you tell me, since we've mentioned her name, exactly what role she played in the testing that
was done? Courtney is a graduate student in industrial hygiene at the school of public health at UNC. She is also my employee, working on some research projects at Duke. Courtney helped basically assemble the materials, set it up, things that graduate students usually do.
She also helped in conducting the experiment. It was an opportunity to give her some hands-on experience. Does she still work for you? Courtney is still working for me on another
project. Yes. Is she employed anywhere else, to your knowledge?
No. And how long has she been with you in an
employee/employer capacity? Well, about a year, a little over a year, year and a half. Do you recall exactly what it was that she did in
Q. She wasn't present when any of that occurred?
A. That is correct. Q. And she is still a faculty member at UNC? A. Yes. Q. And -- I'm sorry. In which department?
A. Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Q. Was this testing done at Duke or at UNC? A. It was done in a laboratory at UNC. Q. Is there any relationship between UNC and the Duke
University Medical Center? A. Well, we collaborate on a number of things. We're
also part of what's called an educational resource center funded by NIOSH for purposes of training people in occupational health, including industrial hygiene, occupational medicine. So, we are part of this educational resource center together. So, we can -- students can actually cross register between
the two campuses. Q. The reason for my question is, I see on Page 1 of
the report that it bears the name Duke University Medical Center, Department of Community and Family Medicine. Were there any monies paid, to your knowledge, to UNC for the use of their facility in

terms of the actual testing?
4 A. She -- Courtney actually did the bumping of the
5
rods together. And so, she had her hands stuck in
6
the glove box.
7 Q. And were you present when she performed that test?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. The entire period of time?
doing this testing? A. I couldn't tell you. I think Lori Todd billed for
her time with regards to set-up and consultation on
the chamber study, Q. Well -- A. But I can't tell you whether or not, you know, she
paid any general monies to the university. Q. Was Lori Todd involved in the actual set-up of the
test chamber for the welding rod testing?

She was involved in the original set-up of this chamber. And she certainly -- we had some discussions on the procedures. And so, she participated in some of the discussions on how we

would proceed. What I'm trying to understand is, for what service
18 Q. 19
My question was, other than the two of you, is there anybody else who has reviewed this testing
would she have billed, if she billed? She would have billed for her time in consulting on

21
approach?
the conceptualizing the design of the study.
22
MR. JACOBS: I'm going to object to the form,
Well, as I understand it, she conceptualized the design along with maybe you and others for an
23
because are you limiting it to the use of the
24
rubbing of the welding rods within, or are you
earlier project. Well, she participated in discussion of how this
25
saying, has anybody peer reviewed the utilization
test was done.
Dr. Dement
PAGE 19
Dement
PAGE 16
Q. Do you have any idea how much time she devoted to
that phase of this particular test?
A. I can't tell you. I didn't see her bill, if she
billed. I can't tell you if she billed or not. I
can't tell you.
Who owns the test chamber?
A. That's a good question. Probably it's now property
of UNC. I can't really tell you who was the owner
of the chamber.
Is it presently situated at UNC?
I don't know.
When is the last time you saw it?
Probably about the time the study was done.
Is there any significance to the fact that Duke
University Medical Center appears on the cover
sheet of your test report?
'
Yes. The primary person who did the design of the
study and is the primary author is at Duke. That's
me.
Does that mean that the university medical center
in any way endorses the study that you have done,
or the findings that you made?
I can't tell you what the university does or
of this box as a good box for taking proper sampling?
MR. DAVIES I'm talking about this test, and the protocol for this test
MR. JACOBS: The protocol here may overlap what I just said. So, I'm objecting as to form.
MR. DAVIES: Fine. I think the question is pretty clear. 0. (By Mr. Davies) I just want to know if there's anybody else besides you and Dr. Todd who has peer reviewed the testing that was done here?
No. I mean, the test was conducted -- back up one step. The Consumer Products Safety Commission
originally, back in the 70's and 8 0 's, is a group that began to do these glove-box tests. And this glove-box set-up is quite similar to the one that they used. So it's not a new concept. Q. Other than yourself and possibly Dr. Todd and Courtney Smith, is there anyone at Duke University or UNC that has a copy of these two test reports?
No. So I take it that if I went to the Duke library, or the UNC library, 1 would not find copies of these.
Dr. Dement

PAGE 17
doesn't endorse. I can't do that for any faculty member.
0. Well, has anyone at the Duke University Medical Center reviewed the test protocol or the testing that was done, or the results? I can't tell you. I guess one of the things I'm trying to find out
is, whether in your view the testing that you have done here has been peer reviewed in any way. It's not in a journal. It's a report to -- on a consulting project. So the answer to my question is no, it has not been?
Well, you know, you have to consider peer review being subject to interpretation. But certainly, it was peer reviewed in terms of the protocol by Dr. Lori Todd. Was there a written protocol for this test? Oh, it's in here. The protocol is in the report. All right. So there is no other document, then, as I understand your testimony, which would outline what it was you intended to do or how you were going to do it, or what the equipment would be
Is that correct? No. You would not. And the tests have not been published anywhere. Is that correct? No. We haven't published them yet. Other than the Ness Motley firm which, as I
understand it, asked you to do this testing originally, and the Jacobs and Crumplar firm, has the report, or have the reports, been shared with
any other law firms, to your knowledge? A. 1 haven't sent them to anybody else. I can't tell
you how, you know, how widely they've distributed reports. Are you aware of any other law firm that is in possession of one or both of these reports? I couldn't tell you. I sent it to Sherry Ingram. So, I couldn't tell you beyond that. Q. Doctor, would you turn to Page 52 of the -- of Exhibit No. 2, please? I'd like to ask you a few questions about the chamber itself. Can you give me the size of the chamber? A. The chamber sizewise -- again, it's relatively to scale. It sets on a bench. It's a bench-top
D r . Dement
PAGE 21
Dr. Dement
PAGE 18
prior to the testing being done. A. You know, all of this material that is in this
report is actually the protocol. This is the protocol. Q. So other than whatever involvement Lori Todd may have had, is it fair to say that the testing and the protocol has not been peer reviewed? A. That's not true. You've got two PhD, certified industrial hygienists who were involved in design, peer review, and this protocol. I consider that to be adequate peer review.
glove-box. So it's roughly -- in terms of the box itself, about three and a half, four feet long, and
about two feet deep, and around 30 inches high. And then, that's just a rough -- it's not exactly square. It has a sloping front. Do you know what the material is out of which it is constructed? It's a plastic, sort of a plexiglass material. Can you see through it? Yes. It's completely see-through all the way around. And in terms of putting material into or taking it out of the chamber, how is that accomplished?

you any more than that.

done using this particular chamber on asbestos-

chamber, that was extensively studied prior to
22
21
doing the test.
23
22 Q. 1 can assure you we will discuss that as we
24
23
progress this morning. While the testing was being
25
24
conducted. Doctor, what was the source or channel
25
for air into the chamber?
1
2
1 Dr. Dement
PAGE 28
3
2
4
3 A. The only channel for air into the chamber is
5
4
through the HEPA filter at the top.
6
5 Q. And'is we look at the sketch, I take it that would
7
6
be the HEPA, H-E-P-A, filter which is on the top
8
7
right of the chamber?
9
8 A. That is correct.
10
9 0. How large a filter is that?
11
10 A. I think it's a six-inch square filter.
12
11 Q. Was that filter ever examined or tested for the
13
12
presence of asbestos?
14
13 A. N o .
15
14 Q. As I read your report, it is my impression that the
16
15
chamber was purged on several occasions. And 1
17
16
take it that would be through the apparatus which
18
17
is shown on the top left of the sketch.
19
18 A. Yeah. Basically, that hooks up to a house -- if
20
19
this is a laboratory which has some house vacuum.
21
20 Q. So in order to pull air through the chamber, you
22
21
would suck it out through that apparatus?
23
22 A. Yeah. It would -- the air entering the chamber
24
23
would come through the incoming filter. It would
25
24
be discharged through the HEPA on the outside.
25 0. And on the out-flow port, it indicates that there

is a HEPA filter. Correct?
5
4 A. Yes.
6
5 Q. And to your knowledge, was that filter ever
7
6
analyzed for the presence of asbestos?
8
7 A. No.
9
8 Q. Were either of those filters analyzed for anything
10
9
at. any time, to your knowledge?
11
10 A. No. I mean, these are certified HEPA filters which
12
11
are -- well, certified HEPA filters.
13
12 Q. Were they new filters when this testing began?
14
13 A. Yes.
15
14 Q. And who inserted them into the apparatus?
16
15 A. I think Courtney installed those.
17
16 Q. Inside the chamber, there are several different
18
17
things depicted. And I want to be sure 1
19
18
understand what they are. One of them appears to
20
19
be a water bottle. Is that correct?
21
20 A. That is correct.
22
21 Q. And what was the purpose of that?
23
22 A. Well, after each test, the chamber was completely
24
23
washed down inside. And so, they were put inside
25
24
prior to the study.
25 Q. The water bottle was in the chamber before the
1
2
1 Dr. Dement
PAGE 30
3

4
3
study began?
5
4 A. That is correct.
6
5 Q. And then, after each test, the water bottle was
7
6
used to facilitate cleaning the chamber?
8
7 A. That is correct. It's washed down inside the
9
8
chamber.
10
9 Q. And the water bottle was left in the chamber?
11
10 A. During this test, yes.
12
11 Q. Is it fair to say that the bottle stayed in the
13
12
chamber at all times throughout all of the tests
14
13
that were performed?
15
14 A. Well, whenever we had it washed down on the inside,
16
15
the materials inside were then ready to take out.
17
16
Then the water bottle was washed down as well,
18
17
wiped down, and taken out.
19
18 Q. And how was it cleaned?
20
19 A. With a Chem-Wipe that's inside.
21
20 Q. That's the small box in the lower left of the
22
21
chamber?

solvent on it?
A. No. That's the reason for the water.
Q. And that was left -- that box of Chem-Wipes was left 1n the chamber during the testing?
A. Yeah, for purposes of cleaning. Yes. Q. And there also appears to be a small ring stand.
Is that correct? A. Yeah. It's just a clamp to hold the filter in
place.
Q. And that stand was in the chamber, I take it, during all of the testing?
A. That is correct.
Q. Was it removed at any time? A. No. It was washed down and left in the chamber.
Q. And I see that there are two -- what is described as identical welding rods in the chamber as well.
Is that right? A. Yes.
Q. Were all of the rods that you were going to test placed in the chamber initially?
A. No. Each test was independent of each other. Q. Was there anything else in the chamber during the
period of testing?
Dr. Dement
PAGE 32
A. No. I mean, the materials in the chamber are shown.
o. It was my impression, from reading your report, that there was a fan involved at some point.
A. Yeah. There is a small fan that is basically a fan
that's used to cool electrical components. Q. And was the fan in the chamber during the testing? A. Yeah. It's actually mounted in the chamber. Q- Exactly where is it in the chamber? A. It's located up in the top right-hand corner of the
chamber. Q. Would that be up near what is described on the
sketch as a sampling port?
A. It was in that area, but obviously not on that
area. That sampling port is just a nipple that
allows you to connect an outside vacuum source.
Q. And as I understand it, the fan is a permanent fixture inside the chamber?
A. Yes.
Q. Was it removed at any time during the testing? A. No. It was washed down, again, after each test.
Q. And is the fan electrically operated? A. Yeah. It connects -- there are some connections in
Dr. Dement
PAGE 33
the back, and a switch on the back that's used to turn it on and off. Q. So it is not battery powered. Is that right? A. That is correct. Q. Can you give me the dimensions of the fan? A. It's a small fan, about two or two and a half
inches in diameter. And it's simply a fan that
you might, for example, find inside a computer housing for cooling. Q- How many blades on the fan? A. Geez. I don't recall. I think there were four.
Q. Does the fan operate at just one speed? A. Yes.
Q. And I take it that it was at that speed that it ran during the various testing?
A. Yeah. It wasn't turned on until -- as the report says, until later in the test. And the idea was
just to keep the material mixed in the chamber. Q. Do you have any idea what the revolutions per
minute of the fan were? A. No. We weren't interested in trying to quantify

that. It was simply a mixing fan that has one
25
purpose only.

called a bubble meter. The commercial name is
4
called a calibrater. It's simply a bubble meter.
2
3
And that purpose is mixing?
5
So you calibrate the air flow for the filter that
6
you're going to use.
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1112
13 Q. 14 15 A. 16
Just to keep the material mixed in the chamber. When you say "mixed," does that entail getting it off the floor of the chamber and into the air?
No. It's -- the idea is just to keep a more uniform concentration of airborne material by having a little turbulence inside the chamber. You are only sampling at one point in the chamber. And therefore, you want to have as well-mixed material as you can. Is there any reason why the fan is not shown in the sketch?
We just forgot to draw it, I guess. There's no
reason why. It's described in the report.
7 8 9 10

19 Q.
We also, as it says, we collected a background sample for 20 minutes in the chamber before tine
test. We then turned on the air after the -- after we did the background sample. And that was sealed and closed. It was left in the chamber. The chamber was not opened up.
We then installed a filter to be used for the study, and we began the air flow. We then removed the plastic bags from the rods, and they were just bumped and rubbed together for a period of about 15
minutes. And during that 15 minutes, the air sample was still running.
Let me stop you there, if I may, and back up a
17 Q. 18
As I understand your testimony, that the chamber was cleaned before the first test began. Correct?
20
couple of steps. As I understand it, after you
21
have the pump calibrated --
19 A. 20 Q.
21
Yes. Do you recall how long before the test began the chamber was cleaned?
22 A. 23 Q. 24
Yes. -- you then pull air for about 20 minutes through a fi Iter. Correct?
22 A. Well, immediately before, when we did the air
25 A. Yeah. A background filter.
23
purge, as it says in there.
24 Q. 25
So in terms of the sequence 'here, you or one of your team uses the water bottle and the Chem-Wipes

And was that filter sent off for testing? Yeah. They're in there. The results are in the

to clean out the chamber before the air purging

begins?
6 Q. 7
I just want to make sure that I know which is which. And if you would look back to Page 3 --
5 A. That is right.
8 A. Right.
6 Q.

Do you recall who did the cleaning? I think Courtney did most of the cleaning, too. How long did it take her? Do you know? To do all the cleaning?

-- of Exhibit No. 2 --
Right. -- would you tell me which of the background samples is the one that was done before any testing
10 A. 11 Q.
15 or 20 minutes. Was the water bottle cleaned before it was put into

at all was performed? Well, each one, before each test a background
12
the chamber?
15
sample was collected. So, three, five and seven
13 A. Yes.
16
are all background filters.
14 Q. And how about the Chem-Wipes?
17 Q. I understand that, from looking at the report.
15 A. They were a brand-new box of Chem-Wipes.
18
What I'm trying to find out is, which is the first
16 Q. And how about the ring stand?
19
one?
17 A. They were washed before they were put in.
20 A. Oh, the sequence is just as the numbers are.
18 Q. With water?
21 Q. So what is listed as Sample No. 3 would be the
19 A. Yes.
22
background that was done before any testing at all
20 Q. Nothing else?
23
occurred?
21 A. That is correct.
24 A. Yeah. Yeah. The sequence is exactly as the test
22 Q. Was the tubing that was inside the chamber wiped
25
was done. And we tried -- as it says, we actually
23
down as well?
24 A. It was. And it was wiped down after each of. the

tests.
2
3
put a non-asbestos rod in between the tests as
1 Dr. Dement
PAGE 36
4
another check.
2 3 Q. 4
How much air did you pull through the chamber before you began the testing?
5 Q. 6 7
Now, when that background sample is taken, as I understand your testimony, you closed that up, covered it up with duct tape?
5 A. I think -- I forget the volume through this house
8 A. Yeah. The filter has a cap. It comes as a unit.
6
port. But we could achieve about -- we purged for
9
And it has a top that you put on. We also tape up
7
25 minutes. And I think we were achieving around
10
that to make sure it's perfectly sealed and that
8
four air changes a minute in there. So, we had a
11

9
lot of air changes.
12
MR. JACOBS: Object to the form of the word

13
"that."

the testing, you were pulling air at 12 liters a

14
test.
17 0. I apologize if I asked you this earlier. But, are
15 Q. I understand. What I want to know is, whether the
18
there any other -- just so we're clear, I 'm handing
16 17 18 A.
purging that was done was pulling air at a greater or lesser rate than during the test? It was pulling at a greater rate. The purging

you -- just so w e 're clear, the questions that I
have been asking -- and I apologize if I have not
21
been clear. The questions I have been asking have

wasn't being done during the test. That was shut
22
to do with the background check that involved
20
off.
23
Sample No. 3 only. Did you understand that,
21 Q. Now, what is the next thing that was done after the
24
Doctor?
22
purging of the chamber?
25 A. Well, that's fine. It's the same procedure for
23 A. Well, the first thing you do is, you have to make
24
sure of your air flow calibration to the filter, as
1 Dr. Dement
PAGE 40
25
the report says. That was done using what is

3
each one of the background samples.
4 Q. Excellent. The cover that you have described for
5
the filter, is that a solid cover, no opening?
6 A. It's the cover that comes with the filter itself.
7
It's a solid cover. It does have a little plug in
8
the end that you can use it, or do what is called
9
open-face or closed-face sampling. But it's the
10
plug that -- it's a solid cover.
11 Q. 12
Was the testing that was done here in all instances open-face of closed-face?
13 A. It was done with the sampling device as would be
14
used for asbestos, that it was open-face but with
15
the -- what is called the cone front. There is
16
just a cone in front of it.
17 Q. So as I understand it, then, the entire cover
18
including the plug was off the filter cassette
19
during the testing?
20 A. That is correct, as you would typically do for
21
asbestos. Yes.
22 Q. And when -- going back to Sample 3 now, when you
23
were finished pulling the background air that
24
cover, including the plug, would be put back on the
25
filter cassette and taped.

working with Ness Motley. Do you recall specifically who it was that sent them to you? No. Do you recall when they were sent to you? Prior to this. Obviously prior to this test. Even I could figure that much out. Do you have any idea when, prior to the test, they were sent to you? A. This particular study was done after the first of the year. I think we would have had sort of had a few rods sent here and there, not all in one batch, between -- in the fall of 1994. Is it the case that you or your colleagues sent
rods here or there? I 'm not following you. I'm trying to use your words. Doctor. And I understood you to say that rods were sent here or
there. And I'm trying to -- We received them. So is it correct, then, that you received rods at

That is correct. Okay. Is all that done by using the hand ports? That is correct. So that once the side ports on the chamber are sealed, they stay sealed? For any one -- any particular series, after the materials are placed in the chamber, the side port is sealed. It's not opened up again until the study is done. And then, you would have to go through the process again for the next sample. All right. I think I'm getting the picture. Before you begin the first testing, then, is it correct that you would have two filter cassettes in the chamber?
That is correct. They would be in the chamber, and sealed.
One would be for background, and one would be for the test itself? That is correct. When the background air is being pulled through the first filter cassette --
Yes. -- is the lid off the second filter cassette that
different times? Yes. We did. And on each occasion, when you received rods, did those rods come from the same source?
Except for the used rods, they all came from the same source. As I understand it, the testing that you did was on rods which are described as being Hobart rods. They were described to us as that. Yes. There were rods that were described as being Westinghouse rods. Yes. And then there were rods which apparently had been used for welding purposes, then sent to you. Correct? That's right.
And do you know the alleged manufacturer of those rods? No. I do not. For purposes of our discussion, is it agreeable to you that I refer to these as the Hobart rods, the Westinghouse rods and the used rods, or burned rods?

is in the chamber? No. It's -- they go in series. And I take it that the second filter cassette is then placed on the small ring stand by using the arm ports?
That is correct.
Doctor, let me ask you some questions about the
rods themselves here before we go any further with the testing itself. As I understand what you did here, you tested three sets of rods. Is that
correct? That is correct. How many total rods were sent to you or delivered to you in some way for this testing? We had sent some rods out for analysis. I can't tell you how many there were. Looking for just the presence or absence of asbestos. I can't tell you how many there were. Well, let's back up a step, then. At some point in time, you or your colleagues come into possession of some welding rods. Is that right? That is correct. Can you tell me how you got the rods? Where did
A. Yes. Q. With respect to the Hobart rods, can you be any
more particular in terms of when you received those rods? A. No. 0. Do you have any idea how many of those rods you
received?
A. At least two. But I can't tell you any more than that.
Q. Did you receive Hobart rods on more than one
occasion? A. I really can't tell you. We were receiving some
materials at different time periods. And I can't tell you. Q. When you say "receiving materials," what do you mean? A. Rods. Q. Materials -- A. Welding rods. Q. At any time, have you receive welding rods other than the Hobart rods, the Westinghouse rods, or the
burned rods about which we have already spoken? A. I can't tell you all the manufacturers of the rods

they come from?
4 A. They were sent to us by Ness Motley, or somebody
that we looked at. Q. I take it from your answer, then, that you at some
time have in fact received rods other than the Hobart, the Westinghouse, or the burned rods.

She is an attorney with Ness Motley. Did she send the rods to you? Somebody who was working with her. I'm not sure

Would it be fair to say that you don't have any idea how old any of these rods were? And when I
say "any," I mean the Westinghouse and the burned rods as well. I don't know the age of the rods, no. And, you know, obviously the application of asbestos stopped at some point in time. So you assume it was before
then. Fair enough. I take it, from what you said, that you have no idea of the history of any of these rods such as where they had been before they came into the possession of Ne ss`Motley, and before they came to you? I can't testify to any of that. I was simply sent rods to do some experiments with.

And the sheet identifying the rod. Is the sample identification number on the rods themselves? Or on the bag? It was on the bag.
Inside or outside? The outside of the bag.
Do you know how it was affixed to the bags? I think it was just a stick-on label. And did the label contain any information other than a number?

25 Q. Let me ask you to do this, please. I think when we
PH.D.. M A R C H 12. 1996
would test? A. I think primarily we needed two asbestos-containing
rods at the sametime. 0- I'm not sure I understand that. When you say
"asbestos-containing rods at the same time," what does that mean?
A. Well, if you're going to bump two rods together, you want to make sure they're atleast the same manufacturer.
Q. Well, and as I understand it, the Hobart rods that you bumped together were the same kind, at least, as you understand it?
A. They were identified to us as the same kind. Yes.

set up this deposition some months back, we did serve a Duces Tecum, which would have covered all of your file materials pertaining to this project. No, sir, you did not. This project was part of a consulting study. And I don't think you asked for any of that. Well, I think that the Duces Tecum that we served on counsel specifically covered any material that related to testing that you might have done. And without arguing with you about it, let me ask you if you will please go back and review your files to determine whether there is any paperwork of any kind that pertains to this project that hasn't been produced to us, and whether you will produce that paperwork. I will say for the record, 1will go back and see if 1 have the numbers for the specific rods that were tested in part of this report. The other part of what we did is part of the consulting project, and I will not divulge any of that material. Without getting into the details of that consulting project, will you tellme wtiat thenature ofthat project was?
Why is it that you chose the Hobart rods rather than some other rod that you had? I think that was -- I don't remember all the
details. But it seems like that was the only two that we had that were rods of the same kind that had asbestos in them. 0. Do you remember the names of the other manufacturers, at least as reported to you, of rods that you had? No, other than Hobart and Westinghouse. Let me ask you to do this, Doctor. Without waiving my right, the belief that I have the right to --
MR. JACOBS: I object to this. Q. -- to examine any of the material that you have
that pertains to welding rod testing, I would like you to produce, please, any paperwork of. any kind or other data that you may have in whatever form
that pertains to the three rods that you tested as described in these two reports.
I will go back in my files and find out if I have anything with regards to those. Q. And can you give us a timeframe within which we may expect to hear from you regarding the results of

A. It was just receiving rods and have them looked at
for asbestos. But that was not part of this report. Only three rods are part of this report.
And I'm not going to divulge that at this point. Well, what did you do with rods that you received that weren't tested?
They were looked at for asbestos, really. And we didn't test them. They were sent back. You or your staff, your team looked at them? No. We sent them outside. We sent some material outside to have it looked at for asbestos. When you say "material," do you mean rods? Coatings of rods. So it wasn't actually rods themselves that were sent, but rather -- Some coatings that we scraped off the outside. And where were those sent? NAS, I think it was, probably. Who is NAS? Is there a person particularly associated with that? Well, Bill Longo is the president of NAS. Well, did you get reports back on those? I'm sure we had some reports back.
your search? A few days. Let's take five.
(BRIEF RECESS) Doctor, do you know who affixed the sample number
labels to the plastic bags that had the rods in them? No. I do not. Do you know whose sample numbers these were? In other words, who assigned the sample numbers to a
particular group of rods? A. No. Ness Motley was working with a number of
different groups on this project. And I can't tell you who the person who sampled -- who attached the numbers to the bags. Do you know which groups they were working with? No. I mean, probably if you gave me a name of somebody, I might recognize it. But my primary contact was with Cheryl Ingram. Would it be accurate to say. Doctor, that you have no way of knowing whether what were described to you as Hobart rods were in fact manufactured by Hobart Brothers?

You have described the rods as being in plastic bags. I presume the plastic bags were in some sort of container when they were sent to you? Yeah. Probably a Fed-Ex box.
They weren't hand-carried to you, I take it? No. They were sent, usually by Fed-Ex or one of

that you did not test for surface contamination of any kind? That is correct. We -- for the same reasons we couldn't do it with the asbestos-containing rods.
Did any of the testing that was done by you or by the laboratory to which you sent material confirm that sodium silicate had been used as the binder in these rods? No. I don't think we really looked at that. We were analyzing for asbestos. My memory of a discussion that you and 1 had back
on January 3 is that you agreed that generally, it is sodium silicate that was used as the binder in
these types of rods. Is that correct? Yes. It's my understanding, again, based on review of the literature, primarily. It's like a water
glass. And I think we agreed at least to some extent that sodium silicate serves as an encapsulant. Well, I think we -- encapsulant, I think we disagreed on the terminology, as I recall. It's the binder material that sort of holds it together, yes.
subject of his December 6, 1994 letter to you? Probably they also came in a ziplock bag, shipped. And was there any type of sample number on those rods? Just the numbers designated here, his numbers. And when you say "his numbers," to which document are you referring? Well, he refers to his sample ID number on the second page. Is that the page that we have marked 9? Yes. I see in the -- on the bottom right of that page, "that" being No. 9, the date December 27, 1993. Do you agree with that? Yes, sir.
And this purports to be a polarized light microscopy asbestos analysis. Is that right? Yeah. This particular analysis is by PLM. And was there any other documentation that accompanied these three burned rods? No, sir. In Dr. Millette's letter he discusses a controlled experiment. Do you have any idea what was involved

Well, I think you and 1 can disagree on the extent to which it encapsulates. But can we agree that at
least to some extent, in the binding process, it encapsulates not only the asbestos but whatever
other ingredients may have been in the flux of the rod?
MR. JACOBS: Objection as to form. Well, it certainly -- it flows around the asbestos material. I think my testimony before is, I don't
think it does it completely. It's sort of like other products that are made with binders that hold them together. If I recall your earlier testimony, you did agree with me that, at least to some extent, the sodium silicate would wet the asbestos. Correct?
MR. JACOBS: Objection as to form. It would some -- at least in some ways, make its way to the structure. Yes. Did you hAve any discussions with anyone at Ness Motley regarding the results of the testing that you did, or the results of the testing that Dr. Longo did? I read the report and sent it to them. I frankly
in that? No.
And you have seen no reports regarding that experiment?
No. I have seen no reports. And just so I'm clear, I take it you don't know
whether Dr. Millette or any of his people burned the rods?
I couldn't tell you. And again, you have no idea where they came from or what their history was? No. They were sent to me as usual with the data here. How much of these rods had been burned? Well, I don't recall. I think the material that we had was about six or seven inches long left. Were all three burned approximately the same amount? As I recall, yes. Was there any residue in the bag that you recall? Not that I recall. Again, I'll have to say, I didn't sample inside the bag the visible material. Visible material, you don't recall?

8 A. 9 10
Well, we knew we had a short-term experiment. And we tried to sample as much air volume as we could in the time period. It's also consistent with some
10 Q. 11 12
My understanding is that at the conclusion of the
15-minute period of bumping and rubbing, the test is not stopped --
11 12 13 14 Q.
of the sampling that's used, for example, by the EPA in some of its clearance sampling, and uses a higher volume. If one were doing individual air sampling involving

7
total a half hour or 30 minutes.
6 Q. And just to take care of some housekeeping here,
8 Q. Was there any particular reason why 30 minutes was
7
would you look at Page 12 of that same report?
9
chosen as the sampling time?
8 A. Yes.
10 A. Well, again, looking at the flow rates in the time
9 Q. 10
As I understand it, this is a summary sheet that came back to you from Dr. Longo's laboratory. Is

period, the idea was to get sufficient volume to
12
have a reasonable detection limit. And also, by

13
the time you run this sample, you -- for 15 minutes
12 A. That is correct.
14
after the close of the experiment, you would have
13 Q. And he has client numbers 3 through 10 listed on
15
had a number of air changes in the chamber.
14
that report. Correct?
16
So you would expect that, after a period of
15 A. Yes.
17
time, that you would have evacuated the chamber a
16 Q. And is it your understanding that those numbers on
18
number of times, and- the concentration would drop.
17
Page 12 match up with your numbers on Page 3?
19 Q. At 12 liters per minute, do you have any idea how
18 A. Yes, sir. They do.
20
many air changes, complete air changes, would occur
19 Q. Did you give any instructions to Courtney Smith as
21
within that chamber in 30 minutes?
20
to the manner in which she was to bump and rub
22 A. We did look at that. I don't remember the number.
21
these rods together inside the test chamber?
23
It would have been a few air changes.
22 A. Well, this is not -- wasn't intended to be a
24 Q. What is your range of "few"?
23
destructive test, simply for a period of about 15
25 A. I don't recall the number. We calculated the
24
minutes to rub the rods together with -- you know,
25
with a little bit of pressure, but not to a point

3
volume of the chamber and the flow rate, and we
2
4
knew that we were getting some air -- a fair number
3
of trying to destroy the rod.
5
of air changes.
4 Q. And what about the pumping? How was that?
6 Q. To the best of your knowledge, are there any

7
government regulations that pertain to sampling for

tapping together.
9 A. Well, if you're going to sample for -- if you were
8 Q. 9 10
Well, during this 15-minute period when she was bumping and rubbing the two Hobart rods, did any of the flux material fall to the bottom of the

13 Q. Is that spelled out in the regulations?
12 A. I don't think we saw -- and we didn't collect
14 A. Yeah. Usually 15 to 30 minutes is determined
13
samples, as I recall, of flux material in the

eye.
17 Q. You mentioned OSHA standards. Let me just ask a
16 Q. Why was 15 minutes chosen as the period for the
18
couple of questions about that as it pertains to
17
bumping and rubbing?
19
this testing that you did. You mentioned short
18 A. It's as long as anybody can bump and rub.
20
term exposure limit.
19 Q.
20
21 A.
22
Well, if you think I 'm touching that one, you are
sorely mistaken.
Well, it's chosen just as a period of time which we
felt that if we were to get enough material off the
21 A. 22 Q. 23 A. 24
Yes. How is that defined under OSHA?
Well, it's a concentration. And I think OSHA uses a 15-minute period of time that the concentration
23
rod to sample, that given a flow rate, we should be
25
is not to exceed in any 15 minutes during the whole
24
able to at least have a reasonable detection level.

effect?
10
11109
Well, the original OSHA standard in 1986 didn't
11
have a STEL. They were sued by, I think, one of
12
the unions to put in place a STEL. And I think
13
12
that came in place around 1987 or 1988. They went
14
13
back' through the rule-making process.
15
14 Q Prior to the setting of the STEL, what was the
16
15
controlling OSHA standard?
17
16 A Well, at the time, it was .2 fibers per cc on an
18

eight-hour time-weighted average basis.

and while the fan was blowing, were you able to see any particulate moving in the chamber? A. I don't recall that you could, no. Q. How far from the fan was the filter?
A. Probably around 18 inches or so. The fan is located in the upper right-hand corner of the chamber, and the sample was down in the bottom right corner.
Q. In which direction was the open face of the filter pointed?
A. It was pointed inward. Q. Was the filter cassette itself horizontal, or
vertical, or -- how would you describe it? A. It was in the horizontal position.
Q. After the 30 minutes of air sampling is completed on the Hobart rods, my understanding is that Ms.
Smith puts her hands back into the gloves, closes up that filter, and tapes it.
A. That is correct. Q. Correct? And she has already got the blank filter

Yes. And that's referred to as a PEL? That is correct. Was there a PEL for asbestos before the .2? Yes. There was. What was that? It was 2 fibers per cc, actually starting in 1976. And what is a -- strike that, please.
Is it correct that the PEL contemplates the eight-hour time-weighted average? Well, the -- usually the PEL does. In some cases, depending on the material, they may have shorter than eight hours. It's just OSHA's permissible
exposure limit. And then they can define that time period. For example, some materials have acute
effects, and they might have a shorter time period. Asbestos is not one of those materials, is it, that has a short-term effect?
Well, that's the reason for the ceiling, or for the short-term exposure limit.
Okay. But again, just so I understand this, when we talk about the OSHA PEL from 1976 until 1986 being 2 fibers per cc, we are talking about an
sealed up. Taped. At that point, then, is the chamber opened? Yeah. The process then is, everything is -- an attempt to wash down, wipe down, materials before you open the chamber. And also, we let it purge after the -- after we stopped the fan. We let it purge, get the air exchange a bit more. Q. Well, let me stop you there. Is it the case that the wipe-down of the water bottle and the ring stand and whatever else may be in the chamber
occurs while the chamber is still sealed? A. Yes. It occurs while it's sealed. The objective
there is, of course, to not allow anything out into
the room. And does the wipe-down of the interior portion of
the chamber occur while it is still sealed?
Yes. It does. Was anything done to determine the effectiveness of the cleaning that was done? Well, yeah. We collected background samples between studies, which was under control. Beyond that, was anything done? No. The background samples, we thought, were the

eight-hour time-weighted average. That is correct. Was there a PEL before 1976? Starting in 1970 -- actually, December of 1971, with the emergency temporary standard, that number was 5 fibers per cc on an eight-hour time-weighted average basis. And how about before 1971? There was no real OSHA standard. For a short
period of time, they adopted the 68 threshold limit values, but then they went to the emergency
temporary procedure rather immediately. What was the 1968 threshold limit value that OSHA adopted until 1971? Well, it was 2 million particles per cubic foot on 12 fibers per cc. That was part of the original
start-up standards. 12 fibers per cc?
Yes. Is it correct that Courtney Smith did all of the
bumping and rubbing of Hobart rods? She did all the bumping and rubbing of all the rods, to try to control at least one variable.
most important. How long did it take to complete the wipe-down of the inside of the chamber and its contents? 15, 20 minutes or so. And after that 15 or 20 minutes, you continued to pull air through? Not the fiIter. Through the filter? Not the sampling filter, but the chamber, yes. And how long did that go on? Probably ran that for another 15 to 20 minutes. And then was the chamber opened. Then the chamber was opened. Let me step back to while the testing is going on. Is the outlet portal of the chamber where the HEPA
filter is located closed off? A. Yeah. During the actual sampling that the -- what
we call the purging filter, is cut off. It has a
damper, or slide, that's cut off. Q- So the only -- during the testing, the only air
that is getting out of the chamber is going through the filter cassette? A. That is correct.

The chamber is then sealed? That is correct. And then one of the filters is put into place to pull air?
We would go through another purge cycle after everything is put in place. We would go through another purge cycle for the chamber. Then, after
the purge cycle, for 25 minutes or so, we would then do another background sample. Well, back up. You have to go through the calibration process, first.
Then you do the background sample, and then you do your bumping and start the process over again. The second test that you performed was on the
Westinghouse rods. Correct? Yes. And your understanding, from the test results that you reviewed, is that these rods did not contain
asbestos? That is correct. And would you have gone through the same procedure during that test as that which we have already
the chamber floor after the burned rods were bumped and rubbed?
A. Yes, sir. We did observe residue on the chamber floor. And we did collect a sample of that material.
Q. Tell me when in the process that sample was taken. A. It was after the test was done, after all of the
background sample, the air sample from the test, the whole process in terms of purging, at least,
was done, but before cleaning. Q. So I take it, then, that when the sample was
collected from the floor of the chamber, the
chamber was still sealed? Yes, sir. It was.
Describe for me, please, the process of collecting this residue.

Exactly the same. And was there any residue seen on the bottom of the

Not that I recall, no. When the fan was running with respect to the Westinghouse rods, could you see anything -- any
particulate blowing around in the chamber? You couldn't see visible material. The filters
themselves found some material. I mean, some residue from the rods. Not visible dust. And is it correct that you concluded the testing of the Westinghouse rods in the same fashion that you have described for the Hobart rods? Yes. Then the entire chamber and contents are purged in -- strike purged. Are cleaned in the same manner that you have already described? Same procedure for wiping down, taking the filters

the bottom of the chamber and get it into the bag? We just scraped it in the glove. So the bag would be held open against the bottom of the chamber -- Exactly.
-- and one hand was used to scrape it in? Scrape it in.
Any idea of the quantity of the material that you
collected? Well, that -- the quantity was reported back to us.
We obviously didn't weigh the material ourselves, but we sent it directly to the lab. They then went through a process of extracting. And the weights are in the subject report. Did the lab report back to you on the total weight of all residue that was sent to it? Yeah. I think they used all the material, because it -- to my knowledge, they used all the material that we had. I mean, we tried to collect as much as we could to send to the lab.

And it's primarily a function of its diameter. And
2
4
most people agree that a fiber will be respirable

particle of an aspic ratio that has a
5
length/diameter of at least three to one. And for
6
micrometers in diameter.

14 Q. 15 16 17 18 19 A.
In the reports that came back to you from Dr. Longo regarding his testing, did he distinguish between fibers which he found which were greater than five microns and those which were less than five microns? He reports his data in terms of structures per cc
16
count them by phase contrast versus what's really
17
there, you're only counting a small piece of it.
18
So, it's always viewed as an index of exposure, not

necessarily to define fibers that have biological
20
activity versus those that don't, but based on a

practical sampling.

I want to clarify one point. We talked about, counting of fibers of minimal diameter of .25. U'h-huh (yes), And again, the only reason for that is, if you want to do electron microscopy counts, and you want to
6 7
8 A. 9 10
that is to be used for sampling that is done under the OSHA regulations?
It does, for purpose of regulatory sampling. It's the phase contrast method, because it's cheap and it's readily available, and all those things that
9
make that comparable to so-called phase contrast
10
counts, then that's sort of the criteria that's
11 12 Q.
go into regulations. Is that the 7400, NI0SH 7400 method?
11
used, because that's considered more or less the
13 A. It's the 7400 with some modifications. They
12
limit of resolution.
14
actually, in 1986, slightly modified the 7400.
13
We have done some work ourselves with regard
15 Q. How was it modified in 1986?
14
to phase contrast and trying to relate that to TEH
16 A. Well, they talked about different counting, some
15
counts. We don't necessarily agree. We think you
17
different counting, A&B counting rules, for
16
can actually see fibers by the phase contrast less
18
example. I don't think they accepted the B
17
than .25. That is what's called a resolution of a
19
counting rules. They also specified this, called a
18
microscope, and its ability to define two circles
20
CAWL, that's a sampling set.
19
as independent, the distance between two circles.
21 Q. I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.

But to count a fiber, you don't have to do

filter itself. But I think more importantly is the calibration filter and all of the blank background
filters which have air pulled through them also
were found to contain asbestos. Is it correct that only one filter that had no air pulled through it was tested? Submitted for analysis, yes.
On Page 6, at the top is the heading "Materials Analytical Services, Inc." Right. Who is that? That's the same group who did the other analysis. It's Bill Longo. And do you have any idea who put the writing on this particular form? No.
In the lower left corner it talks about the number of structures. I guess there's an analyst that's sort of in the dark area that signed, back up to your question. Can you make that out? No.
In the lower left corner it talks about structures.
And in that portion of the report that refers to asbestos concentration data, the initials BAS
appear. Correct? Yes. What does that mean?
I think it means it's below the analytical sensitivity as evidenced by the -- as are evidenced by the results that were presented back. Q. In the lower right corner of Page 13, there is the heading "Analytical Sensitivity Structures per cc." Correct? Yes. And for this particular sample, that is given as 0.013. That is correct. I understand that to mean that although no asbestos structures were found, the analyst could not rule
out the possibility that such a structure may have been present. Is that -- A. You can never rule out the negative. What the analyst does is, goes through a routine, a standardized process, and based on the volume of the air sample, the area, the number of grids

Correct? Yes. Does that tell us anything about whether the
structure is a matrix, or a bundle, or a cluster, or an individual fiber?
No. This was just looking for the presence or absence of asbestos. Does it tell us anything about the size of the structures? No. Looking at Page 12, again, this is a summary that came from Dr. Longo's lab. Is that right? That is correct.
In the left column, under the heading "Phase Contrast Microscopy," -- Yes. -- there is a listing for structures per cc. Correct? Yes.
Is it correct that phase contrast microscopy does not tell us whether a particular structure is asbestos or not?
That is correct.
counted, determines how low they feel they can detect and quantify material.
And that's as low as it could go. Q. Well, is the analyst saying that although I did not
find any asbestos fibers, there could be a concentration as great as .013 fibers per cc? A. No. That's not what h e 's saying. He's just saying it's below his ability to define it. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess. Q. Would you look, please, at Page 15? A. Yes. Q. And this is Sample 4 which, according to your records, is the filter taken from the Hobart test. Correct? A. Yes. Q. In the upper left corner it says, under "Analytical Protocol Level II," Roman Numeral II, what does that mean? A. I don't know what it means. It's the lab's identification of their protocol. If the protocol is micron microscopy, a level 1 may be phase contrast. I can't tell you. Q. Would you also look in conjunction with that at

Yes. And is Page 16 the count sheet which corresponds to
the data reported on Page 15? Yes. Looking at Page 16, can you tell me how many crysotyle asbestos structures are found? Well, he counted a total of nine structures. And are any of those structures fibers that would be counted under OSHA?
Well, if you look at the columns width and diameter -- I mean, excuse me, length and width, Number 7
would have been a countable structure.
I note, under the column -- again, on Page 16 -under the column titled "Structure," there is the
letter M and the letter B. Right.
What does that mean? It's a matrix/bundle.

MR. JACOBS: And I'm the one who gave it from my copy.
(By Mr. Davies) I stand corrected. There are no circles. Thank you. When one is dealing with a structure that is a matrix, how are the dimensions recorded? Well, if you're looking at it by phase contrast, you would simply look at its widest dimension versus its length, its longest dimension. And -- It's hard to see a bundle with the phase contrast, because they appear to be usually one type of fiber. Well, as I understand it here, Dr. Longo or his

is, that the spectrum that is shown on Page 17 is an edax of one of the structures that is reported on Page 16. Is that your impression as well?
That is correct. Are you able to tell me which of the nine structures reported on Page 16 is shown on the edax spectrum on Page 17? Well, the only thing you can look at is the column where he has EDS. And it would have been either fiber 1 or 2, but I can't tell you which one it is. I don't see a designation on this, on this chart. When you say the column marked "EDS" you're referring to the extreme right column on Page 16? Yes. Looking at the spectrum on Page 17, near thelower
right of the spectrum, the letters capital B
capital F capital S. and then the "equals 32"

respect to that. (BRIEF PAUSE)
Q. Doctor, just to confirm my understanding, the only physical activity involving the rods in any testing that you did was the rubbing and bumping of the rods. Is that correct?
A. That is correct. And as I said, the original work that Lori Todd and I did together was just taking materials and sending them for analysis to determine if they had asbestos in them.

what you asked for on Page 49? No. It's not correct. It's part of what we asked for. It's just that I'd like to have more. But that's what we got. Well, what do the micrographs on Page 50 show? Well, they show what we asked for, is typical fibers as seen in this material. Did you ask for typical fibers, or typical fields? Typical fields. It's the same thing. Fields and fibers are the same thing? That's what you find fibers on, are fields. Is there any way to look at the micrographs that are shown on Page 50 -- I should say, the photocopies of micrographs shown on Page 50 -- and correlate back to the testing that was done so that we can know which structures are shown in these micrographs? No. I don't think so.
Would you look again, please, at Page 15, Doctor, of Exhibit No. 2? Yes. Is the concentration of asbestos structures greater than 5 microns in length less than the PEL that was
wire cutters.
But that had to do with bulk sample testing to
determine whether there was asbestos?
That is correct. It was simply a presence or
absence, and roughly how much.
One last question regarding Page 16.
Yes. Of 2?
Of Exhibit No. 2.
All right. Okay.
And I apologize if I'm repeating myself. Referring
to Structure No. 7 --
Yes.
-- the indication there is that it is a matrix-
bundle. Correct?
Yes. One point of clarification, too, is that I
didn't calculate the percentage longer than five.
There is a graph in this report that gives a
distribution of the fiber length.

in effect up until about 1986? I guess it is. And would you look again, please, at Page 26, again focusing on the asbestos concentrations for structures greater than 5 microns? Yes.
Is that concentration less than the PEL that was in effect up until about 1986? Yes. It is. Referring to Exhibit No. 1, which is the second test that you have reported on -- Yes.
-- other than the collection of the residue, was all of that testing performed by Dr. Longo? Yes. The analytical work was done there. Referring to the pages that we have lettered, G through M, are these count sheets? Yes. They are. On any of those count sheets, is there anything to indicate whether edaxing or diffraction testing was done? Well, they didn't indicate on the sheets. No. The count sheet indicates that 200 fibers -- I'm

PAGE 117
by that with respect to that type of analysis? A. Yes. Q. What is it? What is the difference between a
bundle and a matrix, I guess? A. Well, a bundle usually refers to a particle that
appears to be a fiber. When you look at it in the transmission electromicrosope, you actually see it's made up of, like, a bundle of fibers. Matrix means that it's usually a particle, a fiber attached to a matrix of other materials. , Q. Okay. With respect to crysotyle, the type of fiber that w e 're talking of here, is it unusual that those fibers which are counted by light microscopy, under electron microscopy, appear to be bundles? A. No. It's just -- it's very common. That's the case, because you don't see, or you have limited ability to see that. With optical microscopy, we can look at them in higher magnifications. That's what you see.
