Decontamination

Decontamination or Risk Reduction?

For many years, Building Forensics has been the only company in the UK offering data-driven, medically sound risk reduction and decontamination solutions. The process has been approved and accepted by leading US healthcare professionals specifically for mould illness and CIRS

We provide tailored solutions to address your health needs while balancing costs and expectations. By understanding your specific health concerns and vulnerabilities, we determine the most effective level of remediation to deliver the best results within your budget.

With so many options available, choosing the right solution can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation guidance—fill in the form below for more information

Why Are There So Many Options?

Individuals have varying sensitivities, requiring different remediation standards:

  1. General Population: Standard remediation follows regulatory guidelines and industry best practices to restore the environment to safe conditions. These measures typically reduce contaminants to levels unlikely to cause health issues for most people.

  2. Sensitive Individuals: Stricter standards are required for environments housing vulnerable individuals, such as hospitals, schools, and homes with residents who have respiratory conditions or immune deficiencies. This includes young children (under five), older adults (over 65), and the 20% of people with genetic susceptibilities to environmental contaminants.
 
 

At Building Forensics, we go beyond standard requirements to minimize contamination and safeguard those most at risk.

Failure in treatments of Inflammatory Response (CIRS)

Paper 1110 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Chronic health conditions like CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) can be challenging to treat—especially when the root cause remains unidentified. This paper explores why treatments may fail, highlighting the critical role of environmental factors, particularly mycotoxin exposure from mould and bacteria.

Many treatment-resistant cases may be linked to undiagnosed environmental triggers that perpetuate inflammation and compromise immune, neurological, and detox pathways.

Could Your Child’s Environment Be Affecting Their Behaviour?

Paper 1102 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Sudden OCD, tics, or behavioural changes in children may be linked to autoimmune conditions like PANS/PANDAS—often triggered by infections or environmental stressors such as mould or bacteria.

Building Forensics identifies often hidden and invisible environmental triggers, including mould, bacteria, and toxins that may worsen or trigger immune-related conditions. Our detailed assessments go beyond basic testing, helping families and healthcare professionals reduce risks and support recovery.

Cancer and Possible Links to Mould and Biological Triggers

Rev 2 – October 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton Building Forensics

This paper explores peer-reviewed evidence suggesting links between cancer and biological hazards, particularly toxigenic moulds often found in indoor environments. Moulds can produce harmful chemicals that disrupt the endocrine and central nervous systems and may increase the risk of certain cancers.

Although most studies focus on ingesting contaminated food, many biological and chemical contaminants can be inhaled or passed through the skin.

Mould and Inflammatory Response Linked to Alzheimer’s and ALS

Paper 101 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Growing evidence suggests that mould exposure and its byproducts, such as mycotoxins, may contribute to neurological conditions like motor neuron disease (MND), including ALS, and possibly Alzheimer’s. These toxins can trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune system disruption—factors linked to neurodegeneration.

While research is ongoing, some case studies and reviews highlight potential links between chronic mould exposure in water-damaged environments and neurological decline. Assessing possible triggers in your home as early as possible may be imperative.
