7 BY MR. IGNATOWSKI:
8 Q Dr. Gabrielson, are you able based upon your
9 review of the medical literature and based upon your
10 review of where that material came from, are you able
11 to estimate the number of asbestos fibers in that
12 vial?
13 A Yes. I referred to some work that was done
14 by Dr. Stanton at the National Cancer Institute I
15 believe in the 1960s, and he did calculations and
16 looking at his work and based on my calculations, I
17 estimate that there are about a billion fibers,
18 perhaps 800 million, 900 million fibers in that
19 particular 10 milligram sample.
20 Q 900 million fibers, close to a billion
21 fibers in that sample?
