The witness, Prof. Mr. S. Lynn: OK
Adv. Mr. A. Prinz: Do you remember what your results were in the study?
The witness, Prof. Mr. S. Lynn: Anonymous.
Adv. Mr. A. Prinz: Nope.
The witness, Prof. Mr. S. Lynn: But you can read, it's not a problem.
Adv. Mr. A. Prinz: I'm telling you that cancer incidence among young people in the district Haifa Was Low from the national average and it was also found that the incidence of cancer in the Haifa district Low From districts such as Tel Aviv, Central, South and even a little bit of Jerusalem.
The witness, Prof. Mr. S. Lynn: OK, reasonable.

- Lin also confirmed in his interrogation that another of his papers, mentioned by Prof. Grotto, is "Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma" (2009) (Exhibit M/58). This article noted, among other things, that most of these lymphoma cases are over the age of 60. The report deals with its chapter 1.1 on "Cancer and exposure to traffic air pollution", and it is noted at the end of the chapter that the purpose of the study is: "... to analiyze a possible linkage between NHL morbidity and residence near heavy traffic roads … among the Jewish population in the Haifa Area" (ibid., p. 638 above).
- Later in the article, in the chapter on the results and discussion (pages 639-640), it is stated, among other things, that the distance from the road for each lymphoma patient was between zero and 700 meters, with the median value being 56.5 meters. The high incidence of lymphoma in areas closer to main/main roads can indicate a possible association between living in these areas and disease risk (page 640 bottom right). There is no dispute that in his case, the entire issue of pollution from the means of transportation was not taken into account by the applicants (and the experts on their behalf) in the framework of their application for approval here.
- Moreover, on page 640 at the bottom left, it is stated by the researchers (including Prof. Lin) that, among other things, industrial air pollution is a significant risk factor in the Haifa Bay area. Still, and although there have been several attempts in the past to investigate the relationship "between the elevated levels of air pollution in the Haifa metropolis and local morbidity rates, the results of most previous studies were largly unconclusive and failed to reveal a significant association between incidence morbidity and local air pollution levels (Avnimelech 2005, Portnov et. 2009).." (See 46/63). To Prof. Lin, and perhaps also to Prof. Grotto, who is the author of this article No. 45 of the position paper, the solutions, how do the things written above reconcile with the thesis that Prof. Lin is currently raising in his opinion, and which is to be learned from Prof. Grotto's documents.
- In the context of the above article, Prof. Lin was asked and answered as follows:
Adv. Mr. A. Prinz: In which you are actually You have examined the connection between Living near a road Main and NHLRight?
