Heading: Evidence Submitted in This Case

Text: 16 In this case, Shubin reviewed information that was comparable to the information that he examined for his testimony in Paoli. Shubin's evaluation was derived from five different sources: 1) a medical examination of Hines, his personal and family histories; 2) various medical tests, including chest X-rays, pulmonary function studies, a coronary risk profile, arterial blood-gas studies, and a lab scan; 3) a laboratory report performed by National Medical Services that showed that Hines' PCB fat level was 1100 parts per billion while the norm was less than 1000 parts per billion; 4 4) reports prepared by Hines' treating physicians; and 5) Hines' hospital records and occupational history. Shubin also reviewed scientific articles and administrative findings on the toxicity of PCBs. 5 Based upon this evidence, Shubin concluded that Hines' injuries included cancer of the bladder, chronic obstructive and restrictive lung disease, and a number of other ailments.
