1 BY MR. RUCKDESCHEL: Page 93 2 Q Dr. Paustenbach, the sentence that we're 3 referring to, "Millions of asbestos fibers can be 4 released during brake and clutch servicing," is that a 5 factually accurate statement in June of 1986? 6 A It's factually accurate. I don't think it's 7 informative for health risk assessment purposes. 8 Q Okay. The next sentence: 9 "Grinding and beveling friction 10 products can cause even higher 11 exposures." 12 Is that a factually accurate statement in ii \i l | ji 13 June of 1986? 14 A It's inaccurately written. It should say 15 higher airborne concentrations. But, the statement is 16 accurate but not informative. 17 Q The next sentence: j \ 1i 5 18 "Like germs, asbestos fibers are 19 small enough to be in visible and can 20 remain and accumulate in the lungs." 21 In June of 1986 was that a factually accurate 22 statement? 23 A Some asbestos fibers certainly are small enough 24 to be invisible and they may or may not have biological 25 significance. 1 i jj | ;| s i \ 1> ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES (415) 288-4280
