For decades, mould and building-related illness have quietly evolved into what experts now call a global health pandemic. From the UK to the Middle East, cases of asthma, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer’s, and inflammatory disorders linked to indoor biocontamination are rising sharply. The World Health Organization has warned that misdiagnosis of environmental illness could become “the great masquerade of the 21st century,” costing billions worldwide.
Unfortunately, the crisis has been amplified by unqualified operators and SEO-driven misinformation – from unverified “mould training courses” to unsafe decontamination products and false health claims. Until now, there has been no independent, authoritative source offering evidence-based advice that bridges medical, environmental and building science.
After over 40 years at the forefront of global disaster recovery and environmental health, Jeff Charlton – widely recognised as the UK’s leading mould and decontamination expert -has consolidated his vast knowledge into a single intelligent system: JeffCharlton.AI.
The platform draws on more than 179,000 document uploads and 31 million words of verified research and case experience, and decades of peer-reviewed science covering mould and bacterial contamination, water and fire damage recovery, building-related illness (BRI) and CIRS, and indoor environmental diagnostics and decontamination protocols.
JeffCharlton.AI provides instant answers to written or spoken questions – reflecting Jeff’s direct, no-nonsense tone and backed by proven field data and international standards.
Currently available in free trial mode, the service will soon be offered via a low-cost subscription, accessible to homeowners, tenants, housing officers, contractors, insurers, and healthcare professionals seeking clarity in an area often clouded by misinformation.
Jeff Charlton is a Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) qualified professional, founder of Building Forensics, and the UK’s leading mould expert with more than 35 years of international experience. His work includes writing decontamination protocols for the US Army Corps of Engineers, co-authoring the global consensus document ‘Surviving Mold,’ and serving on the SHEER technical committee in Switzerland for emergency response to chemical and biological incidents.
JeffCharlton.AI is now available for public trial via buildingforensics.co.uk.
