I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration, and if called upon as a witness, I could and would competently testify as to their truth. 2. Lam a physician, currently employed by the University of Colorado as a Professor of Medicine, Immunology, and Pediatrics, and serving as a Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado, I graduated from medical school in 1979, and I have been board certified in medicine since 1984, in occupational medicine since 1986, and in pulmonary medicine since 1988. A copy of my Curriculum Vitae, which includes a list of my publications and grant support, is attached to this Declaration as Exhibit }. tit K Mnjured\19349\pldidecl schwartz. doo 1 ILA DECLARATION OF DAVID A. SCHWARTZ, M.D.3. Lattended the University of Rochester, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honors in Biology in 1974. I then attended the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine and obtained my medical degree in 1979. Following medical school, in the summer of 1979, | took an 8-week course in tropical medicine at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. The National Science Foundation supported me as a Public Service Science Resident in population-based research until June of 1980. Between July 1980 and June 1984, I was an intern, resident and chief resident in internal medicine at Boston City Hospital. J then became an occupational medicine resident at Harvard School of Public Health and took courses in epidemiology, occupational medicine, and industrial hygiene. 1 received a Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH) in 1985 and joined the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program at the University of Washington that allowed me to acquire research skills, complete my occupational medicine residency, and start/complete a fellowship in pulmonary medicine. | was recruited to direct the clinical program in occupational medicine at the University of Iowa in 1988 and was appointed Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Pulmonary Division in the Department of Medicine. During that time, I collaborated with Drs. James Merchant and Gary Hunninghake and focused my clinical and research efforts on understanding the environmental and genetic determinants of pulmonary fibrosis and asthma. In 2000, I was recruited to Duke University to direct the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. During that time, I developed three NIH support programs in environmental health (environmental genomics, environmental asthma, and an environmental health sciences research center). In 2005, I was recruited to direct the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Toxicology Program and developed the Genes, Environment, and Health Initiative, and the NTH Program in Epigenomics. In 2008, I was recruited to the National Jewish Center and developed the Center for Genes, Environment, and Health where [ am currently serving as Provost. I have co-authored 178 joumal articles, 68 editorials, and 52 book chapters. A number of these articles have focused on asbestos-related lung disease. I have served on a number of journal editorial boards (Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med and Am, J. Resp, Cell Mol Biol.), numerous grant review committees, and am a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and K Alnjured\}9349\pldidect schwartz.doc 2 JLA DECLARATION OF DAVID A. SCHWARTZ, M.D,Association of American Physicians. In addition, I am the recipient of the 2003 American Thoracic Society Scientific Accomplishment Award. 4. Since the late 1980s, I have participated in the diagnosis of approximately several hundred cases of asbestos-induced lung disease that originated at the University of Iowa, Duke University, or National Jewish Health where I am Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Immunology and Director of the Center for Genes, Environment, and Health. I have also seen several hundred cases referred to me by other physicians or lawyers representing patients with this disease. During the course of my career, I have kept abreast of the scientific and medical literature regarding the diagnosis and causation of asbestos induced lung disease and asbestos- induced cancers. 5. Over the past 20 years, I have clinically evaluated at least 2,000 patients with asbestos related disease to determine the type of disease, to determine the relationship of that disease to asbestos exposure, and to evaluate their exposure to asbestos. 6. [have been qualified to testify on the issue of diagnosis and causation in a number of states including, but not limited to, North Carolina; South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Colorado, California, and New York. 7. As I stated in my report of April 23, 2011, a true and correct copy attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and my report dated December 28, 2010, a true and correct copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3, having reviewed medical records from the plaintiff, Robert Ross, including his pathology and radiology reports, and including pulmonologist Alvin J. Schonfeld, M.D.’s report dated September 16, 2009. I conclude that Mr. Ross has asbestosis, as well as has developed colon cancer which was in part caused due to his exposure to asbestos. Additionally, people, such as Mr. Ross, with asbestos exposure with an additional history of tobacco exposure, have a significantly higher incidence of cancer complications than with either asbestos or tobacco exposure alone, as the combined increased risk of these two carcinogens is multiplicative. 8. It is my opinion that every exposure to asbestos above background level contributed to cause Mr. Ross’s asbestosis and colon cancer because it is well understood that asbestos related KAinjured\19349\pididect schwartz.doc 3 JLA DECLARATION OF DAVID A. SCHWARTZ, M.D.YI Dw B® WwW diseases are dose-response related diseases and it is impossible to show exactly which exposures to asbestos caused the disease. Asbestos fibers are complete human carcinogens. Every asbestos fiber that comes into contact with a cell in the respiratory system or gastrointestinal system may, ona more likely than not basis, elicit a physiological response from the body. The body has a limited ability to deal with this exposure burden. Some of the fibers will stimulate removal mechanisms and eventually be removed from the body. Any fiber contacting a cell may cause genetic damage, may induce inflammatory reactions, or may cause other biochemical reactions, including those which lead to the development of asbestosis and colon cancer. After accounting for sufficient latency, these diseases result from cumulative exposure to asbestos. In individuals who develop these diseases, such as Mr. Ross, every occupational or para-occupational exposure to asbestos plays:a role in causing the disease. 9. T also reviewed the Declaration of Robert Morgan (“Morgan Decl.”) and Khalil Sheibani, M.D. (“Sheibani Decl.”) attached in support of defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment in this case. Dr. Morgan attested that there is there is no causal relationship between that the inhalation or ingestion of asbestos is a contributing factor in the development, or even tisk factor for the development, of colon cancer. Morgan Decl. at §5. However, this is an inaccurate conclusion that is not supported by the breadth of scientific literature on the topic (beyond that which Dr. Morgan has evidently been paid to generate), For the reasons stated in my declaration, I therefore also disagree with Dr. Morgan’s opinion there has been established no causal relationship between asbestos exposure and colon cancer. Morgan Decl. at 95. Dr. Sheibani concludes that based upon the absence of asbestos bodies in the limited colon tissue that he was sent, that the colon cancer cannot be caused by asbestos exposure. Sheibani Decl. at 95-6. Here again, though I have no quarrel with his pathologic finding, his conclusion regarding causation is not supported by the medical literature on the topic and does not even correctly represent the criteria for establishing the link between asbestos exposure and lung cancer from which Dr. Sheibani then extrapolates his conclusions about colon cancer. | note that Dr. Sheibani does not cite to a single article or book chapter concerning the relationship between asbestos and colon cancers in his declaration. Based on my above-mentioned experience, KMinjured\19349\pid\decl schwartz.doc 4 JLA DECLARATION OF DAVID A. SCHWARTZ, M.D.Cm WB DW BR YB Dm o 11 training, and historical review, there are various articles that I have studied regarding the association between asbestos exposure and colon cancer. A true and correct copy of the Annotated Bibliography of Colon Cancer Articles is attached as Exhibit 4. Each and every one of these peer reviewed articles in the attached Annotated Bibliography of Colon Cancer Articles is independently a basis for my conclusion that it is generally accepted in the medical community that exposure to asbestos can and does cause asbestos induced cancers of the G-I track, including Mr. Ross’s asbestos induced colon cancer. 10. Based on my own evaluation of medical records, pathology and radiology reports in this case, my own training, education, and experience, and the references also cited above, I conclude exposure to asbestos contributed to cause Mr. Ross’s colon cancer and that every occupational exposure to asbestos, above background, given sufficient minimum latency, was a substantial contributing factor to both Mr. Ross’s asbestosis and his colon cancer, this exposure was continuous, above background levels and substantial. 11. All my opinions expressed herein are to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
