She has studied the effects of chemicals that may pose a threat to human health for more than 18 years. Her knowledge of human health risks in air, water, and the workplace enables her to have a significant impact in all areas of environmental health and human toxicology.

Dr. Corey has particular experience in:

• Evaluating the health risks of metals, halogenated compounds, organophosphates, pesticides, solvents, and nanomaterials;
• Evaluating risk with special consideration towards sensitive populations;
• Conducting product assessments for chemical compounds;
• Preparing labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for industrial chemicals in accordance with OSHA guidelines;
• Ensuring compliance with governmental toxicity regulations including  REACH, EPA Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL), and State of California  standards;

She has also conducted assessments of jet engine oil and hydraulic fluid in aircraft cabin air. Dr. Corey’s extensive knowledge of human health risks from chemicals allows her to promote her clients’ compliance with local, state, federal, and international Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) regulations, provide litigation support as either a consultant or an expert witness, and develop new toxicological assessments for measuring chemical impacts on human health.

Dr. Corey earned her PhD in Environmental Toxicology from the University of Washington, where she also earned her Master of Science in Environmental Toxicology. She conducted her undergraduate studies in biology at the University of Washington. Dr. Corey is also certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology (DABT).
