I, David A. Schwartz, M.D., declare as follows:
1. Lam nota party to the above-referenced action. 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 }.

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

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,

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.
Executed on April 23" . 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
