In this deposition we recently took Chevron admits that it did not stop using asbestos in its Perth Amboy refinery until 1972, more than 3 decades after learning that asbestos could kill. According to this witness there was more than 12 miles of asbestos on the piping alone in the Perth Amboy. This had the capacity to cause massive exposure to anyone in the area where asbestos was installed or removed.
