4 they took dust measurements,correct?
5 A Yes.
6 Q And they report all of the dust measurements
7 in these tables?
8 A Yes, they do.
9 Q And the way the authors report the figures
10 is that they have got a column for total dust and a
11 column for asbestos dust, correct?
12 A Yes. They basically try to use a little bit
13 higher magnification to estimate the proportion of
14 asbestos in the sample, although that still has a lot
15 of limitations.
16 Q And they report ranges of counts and
17 averages, correct?

20 consideration the time-weighted average that you told
21 the jury about?
