And later on -

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         I'm still looking at Professor Grotto's table here, in the position paper.

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   OK, OK. 

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         On page 10, the various air pollutants.  He brings lead here, stomach cancer,

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   OK

Adv. Mr. A.  Amorai: Second, listen to the question.

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         Nickel, pharynx and throat, arsenic, lung.  Trichloroethylene, kidneys.  Tetrachloromethane, bladder, cadmium, blood cancer, lung cancer.  Where are all these materials? That they don't show up, that you ignore them?

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   You just don't listen completely, I'm sorry.  I was talking about the materials that the Ministry of the Environment has determined as materials that the Gulf industry needs to measure and according to which they get licenses, they get things, they get everything.  If you decide tomorrow, the Ministry of the Environment will decide to measure cadmium.

Adv. Mr. D.  Or Chen:         So tell me which one. 

The Honorable Judge D.  Chasdai:          Don't interrupt it.

The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert:   High cadmium level, so it falls into the same category as P 2.5.  As of today, there is no obligation to measure cadmium.  No cadmium data and so on.  So come on, we didn't talk about pharyngeal cancer or kidney cancer.  I can give you a repertoire for any cancer, believe me.  They can sit here for hours more.  I know all the crabs.  Really, you have to believe me.  I know all the diseases and I know the connections between them.  But that's our question, Haifa Bay is measured materials.  You are allowed to claim that there are critical substances that are not being measured.  So please take action with the Ministry of the Environment that will require their measurement, this is life.  I don't have, I don't have a cadmium level.  You, and it is possible that cadmium has no meaning and it is possible that cadmium emitted in the bay is zero.  I don't know, you don't know either
