Betty Locey

Dr. Locey is a board certified toxicologist with more than 25 years of experience. She specializes in the areas of toxicology, human health risk assessment, risk-based-decision making, regulatory negotiation, and inhaled pollutants. She has proactively identified future chemical-specific issues associated with pending changes at the state and federal level, critically reviewed and commented on USEPA’s Integrated Risk Information System’s (IRIS’) draft toxicological assessments on behalf of clients and developed toxicity values for chemicals with limited toxicological data where needed to evaluate potential risks. Dr. Locey has developed chemical-specific health-based criteria and evaluated potential risks associated with constituents in environmental media in support of ambient air permits, site closures, vapor intrusion assessments, drinking water assessments, and combustion assessments. She has worked on environmental sites in Michigan, across US and in international locations. She integrates risk-based approaches with other options to identify cost effective solutions at environmentally challenged sites. She recently served on the Michigan’s State’s Part 201 criteria Technical Advisory Committee focused on Toxicity Values and Physical Chemical Parameters used to develop generic criteria.
