Adv. Mr. D. Or Chen: P.M.?
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: particulate matter.
(page 1908).
- PROFESSOR RENNERT WAS REFERRING TO WHAT WAS WRITTEN BY BAILEY IN THE "REFERENCE GUIDE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY" (AS QUOTED ON PAGES 1914-1915), AND HIS ANSWER:
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: It has nothing to do with the issue at all. Bradford Hill Criteria There is one criterion called SPECIFICITY, that is, if the association between asbestos and lung cancer must only be with lung cancer. In other words, if you see him with uterine cancer then the connection is no longer there, it is not a criterion, so he explains here that there is actually no requirement SPECIFICTY And a certain factor can be dangerous for both disease A and disease B. That's the saying, I know the ... This is a question that has been discussed in the past and it is very clear. The answer, by the way, is accurate and correct. There is no criterion, there is no criterion SPECIFICTY, he is in the Bradford Hill criteria he was softened but that's all it means is that smoking can do both lung cancer and kidney cancer, that's okay, it doesn't rule out the connection with lung cancer. That's all, that is, it's actually for the negative, not for the positive (page 1915).
And later on -
Adv. Mr. D. Or Chen: So do you agree that after this long procedure that these bodies do, do you agree that the correct approach is to rely on the determination of the experts from these international institutions that I mentioned?
The witness, Prof. Gad Rennert: Usually a report of IARC is accepted and perceived and it also affects the global carcinogen table. This is exactly how this table is constructed. When I was the head of the committee in Israel, we strengthened this list for Israel. And that's exactly what we did. The international bodies give their recommendations. It's just very important to remember that in the same list, A1 of certain carcinogens, for example, sun exposure also appears. There is also exposure to hormone replacement therapy and pills, which means that there are a lot of things that are in our lives TRIVIALOK? It sounds terribly scary from a certain cancer. They are not one. Carcinogenic, that's the potential. Cancer is a probable consequence, so just be careful with insights, because otherwise it's terribly scary. You have a carcinogen, a carcinogenic sun, a huge carcinogen, 10% of all tumors in the world are caused by the sun, even without counting BCC's.
