PROCEEDINGS
JUDGE VITTONE: On the record.

9:03 a.m.
We recessed last night, and we were having some
questioning by Mr. Grossman of the OSHA panel. We will
resume today, finish up with Mr. Grossman, and then resume
again with Mr. Rupp and Mr. Weinberg has also asked, he said
he has one additional question he would like to have asked,
and I told him I would let him do that after Mr. Rupp. So
if you're ready, Mr. Grossman, we will resume.
MR. GROSSMAN: Thank you very much, Your Honor.
When we broke off yesterday we were comin~ to the
question of the Agency's decision to use the Fontham study
as the only study in crafting a risk ratio for lung cancer
as a result of ETS exposure in the work place.
Could someone articulate to me the reasons why the
Brownson study was not used? Mr. Martonik?
MR. MARTONIK: I don't remember us saying that the
Fontham study was the only study that had information
regarding occupational exposure. I think that...
MR. GROSSMAN: That wasn't the question. The
Federal Register says that the risk ratio that was derived
is based upon the Fontham study, and the risk ratio for
heart disease is based on the Helsing study. I'm asking why
the Brownson study, rather than the Fontham study was not

used as th~ basis for calculating the risk ratio.
MR. MARTONIK: Because we thought the Fontham
study provided better information regarding the exposure of
workers to ETS.
MR. GROSSMAN: On what basis?
MR. MARTONIK: On the basis of reading the
studies.
MR. GROSSMAN: On what basis in the studies? What
factual basis separated the Fontham study from the Brownson
study?
MR. MARTONIK: Dr. Silverstein will answer that.
DR. SILVERSTEIN: I actually want to clarify
something in response to the first part of your questioning,
which is that while we chose to use the Fontham study for
particular calculations, it's not by any means the only
study that has risk ratios of the same order of magnitude
that we think are important and informative and are useful
in our determination. Which...

Are you finished with your answer, Mr.
Silverstein?

DR. SILVERSTEIN: Just about. I was going to say
that this was a particularly useful study, but by no means
the only useful study.

MR. GROSSMAN:
It's part of a larger body of
Could you explain to me why the
Brownson study was not used as the principal basis for
determining a risk ratio?
MR. MARTONIK: Mrs. Janes will answer that.
MS. JANES: The Fontham study was by far a
superior study to the Brownson study. Not only did she
validate current tobacco use through cotinine measures, they
also looked at dħet factors, and they also looked at other
potential confounding factors and tried to control for them
in both the design of the study and the analysis of the
study. It was a multi-center study. Cases from different
parts of the country, where Brownson was based in Missouri.
Anyway, we went through our analysis and
determined that for risk assessment purposes the Fontham
study was by far better.
In the weight of evidence analysis that we used,
both the Brownson and the Fontham study both played a part
in that, but for the risk assessment, which is what your
question relies upon, that is why we chose the...
MR. GROSSMAN: Let's break that down into several
parts. You referred to cotinine measurements.

MS. JANES: Yes, sir.
MR. GROSSMAN: That was an alleged test to
determine whether there was bias in the determination of who
was and who was not a smoker, is that correct?
MS. JANES: Yes, sir. It was...
MR. GROSSMAN: The purpose was to screen out
people who were actually smokers as opposed to people who
might have been exposed to passive smoke.
MS. JANES: Yes.
MR. GROSSMAN: The cotinine measurements were made
on people who had already been determined to have lung
cancer, is that correct?
MS. JANES: And on their controls.
MR. GROSSMAN: But as far as people with lung
cancer were concerned, the cotinine measurements were made
on people who already had lung cancer, is that correct?
MS. JANES: Yes, it is. But it was also...
MR. GROSSMAN: And is it also correct...
JUDGE VITTONE: She was still giving her answer.
MS. JANES: But Fontham looked at both cotinine
measures in both their cases and their control group.
MR. GROSSMAN: I'm talking now only about the
cases, and you can understand that the questions relate only
to the cases.
The cotinine tests were on people who already had

lung cancer, and the cotinine tests measure, at best, the
last 72 hours of use of cigarettes, is that correct?
MS. JANES: Yes, it is.
MR. GROSSMAN: Could you explain to me and for the
record how a test that determines whether people may have
smoked cigarettes within~the last 72 hours, involving people
who are already hospitalized for lung cancer, can determine
whether those people have, during the history of their
lives, been smokers at any time?
MS. JANES: As you are well aware, most of the epi
studies did both, prospective and case control studies, did
not even take any kind of [bio] monitoring data and this is
the only study on lung cancer.
MR. GROSSMAN: That wasn't my question.
Could you explain for the record how a test that
measures cotinine which may measure the use of cigarettes
within the last 72 hours, could determine or check whether a
person at any time during his or her life time was an active
smoker?
MR. MA~TONIK: I believe she answered your
question. She gave you information that cotinine levels
result from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke...
MR. GROSSMAN: You're saying that the answer to
the question is it is impossible based upon cotinine tests
to make that determination. Is that right?
