Locus Technologies developed software for Environmental Information Management (EIM). [1] [2] EIM manages the environmental sampling and laboratory analysis data that is used for environmental monitoring at US nuclear research lab Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) [3] [4] . LANL began implementing EIM in 2011, with the first waste and groundwater data being processed in March 2012 [5] and made available via a public portal. Scientists involved in the project implemented EIM to comply with "federal initiatives to move government computing into cloud-based services" [5] . In an effort to minimize costs to government, "local regulatory and compliance agencies collaborated with LANL to incorporate their data into EIM" [5] . Other government agencies and industrial corporations took similar action to manage data for environmental risk assessments, compliance, and public transparency. [6] [7] [8] [9]
By 2014, Locus Technologies managed data for 1,300 Superfund sites on the US Environmental Protection Agency]]'s National Priorities List (NPL). [8] Locus supported a US EPA review of Superfund sites in 2020 by providing a solution for enhanced anaerobic bioremediation data at the Signetics Site [10] , an electronics manufacturer that later became part of Philips Semiconductors. Several chemical companies, as part of the American Chemistry Council, used Locus Technologies for specific chemicals impact (Triphenyl Phosphate) and management of the environmental data. [6] The EPA designated Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP) as a high-priority substance for risk evaluation in 2019 [11] .
More broadly, the company builds cloud-based applications [12] [13] [5] to manage air emissions, water, waste, refrigerants, greenhouse gas, and chemicals. [4] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Locus Technologies stores that type of data to help with environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliance [19] , environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data management, [20] sustainability, and water data management. [18] Later developments were added for mobile use by field engineers working on sampling and incidents, Internet of Things (IoT), geographical information system (GIS), and artificial intelligence. [20] [16] [21] The company was founded in 1997 in Silicon Valley, California, by a civil engineer with a background in environmental information system prototypes. [20] [22] [13]
