1 believe among the thousands on there was Ford, GM,
Page 2981
2 Chrysler, Bendix, et cetera and other labs.
3 Q Well, I am not aware.
4 Did you reference these studies in your
5 direct examination?
6 A No one asked me about them, but I may have
7 made comment about the -- I think I talked about, in
8 one of the depositions, a two-page document from
9 Lindell Peer to Amy Mahl and Steve Shapiro at the EPA
10 talking about fiber release for brake mechanics and
11 mechanics in general.
12 And in that specific document they indicated
13 that for mechanics in general, the time-weighted
14 average fiber count was .01. For brake mechanics it
15 was .04.
16 And they specifically indicated the higher
17 numbers from another study which, quite obviously,
18 with the Mount Sinai study, were not supported by any
19 of their own data.
20 Q And these EPA studies you are referencing
21 tested Ford brakes?
