Sworn affidavit of Conwed's expert witness Dr. Arthur M. Langer in Conwed Corporation v. Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastics Company, Inc. It states his qualifications and his opinion that Conwed workers at the Cloquet, Minnesota ceiling tile plant were substantially exposed to airborne Union Carbide Calidria chrysotile asbestos from 1965 to 1974. It cites Union Carbide's Niagara Falls simulation study, King City mill dust measurements, his own laboratory study, Union Carbide's 1972 Cloquet measurements and measurements at other customers' plants. It compares these with OSHA and EPA levels and says Calidria chrysotile is not a safe or benign asbestos type.
