Volume 2 The Science Against Awaabs Law

The Science Against Awaab’s Law is a rigorous forensic and scientific challenge to the evidence used to justify one of the most significant housing laws in modern UK history. In this second volume of the Legacy Edition, Jeff Charlton examines the coroner’s process itself, exposing how flawed science, unsupported assumptions, and misinterpreted data were accepted as fact and then translated into national legislation.

Drawing on environmental hygiene, medical science, building physics, and legal analysis, this volume dissects over 130 additional failures in investigation, sampling, remediation, and expert testimony. It explains why visible mould was wrongly prioritised, why airborne and dust-borne exposure was ignored, and how non-viable biological hazards were never properly assessed.

Written for policymakers, legal professionals, clinicians, housing providers, insurers, and environmental health practitioners, this book provides the scientific and medical evidence that calls for repeal, reform, and a complete re-thinking of how building-related illness is investigated in the UK.

This is not opinion. It is a technical record of how bad science became law and why it must be corrected.
