Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? The floor you live on may really affect your health. A few days ago, a new study by the University of Bern in Switzerland found that the higher you live, the better your health and the longer your life span.
Which floor is safer, more comfortable and healthier? Bian Xiao summed up the advantages and disadvantages of each floor of the house. Let's compare your home. There are different views on the advantages and disadvantages of floors in the world:
Agree with the above: Switzerland, Russia
A study by the University of Bern in Switzerland was published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, covering Switzerland10.5 million people. The researchers found that people who live above the eighth floor have a 22% lower risk of premature death, including a 40% lower risk of dying of lung disease and a 35% lower risk of dying of serious heart disease. On the contrary, most people who live in the lower floors die of lung disease and heart disease.
Researchers believe that the reason is that high-rise residential buildings have less air pollution and relatively less noise than low-rise residential buildings.
Russia's "Science and Life" magazine once published an article saying that although the lower floor is close to the ground and convenient for contact with the outside world, there are problems such as high humidity and poor air circulation. In the eyes of Russians, the seventh floor is the "golden floor" because it is quiet and unaffected by noise.
Agree with subordinates: the United States, Japan
In the United States, under the influence of "anti-urbanization" (the return of urban population to villages and small towns), independent low-rise housing is dominant. Even in densely populated Japan, two-story and three-story houses are the most common. According to a Japanese statistic, two-story houses account for 54.85% of all houses. Living on a high floor for a long time, far from the ground, will lead to psychological depression. People don't like going out, which is not conducive to neighborhood communication, and gradually makes people become "home" and withdrawn. The thin air in high-rise residential buildings is easy to aggravate the condition of patients with cardiovascular diseases and bronchial diseases.
Expert opinion: the advantages of living high outweigh the disadvantages.
The height of urban housing does have a certain impact on health. Low-rise residential buildings are first affected by commercial facilities near the ground, road traffic and sanitary conditions, while high-rise residential buildings will be much less affected.
1, high air quality.
Generally speaking, the higher the floor above the ground, the cleaner the air.
Gaseous pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and well-known particulate pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM 10 will all decrease with the increase of floor height. If the house is close to shopping malls, downtown areas, roadside barbecues, restaurants and other places, the air quality is relatively good if you live on a high floor.
2, the noise pollution is small
Generally, the noise decreases with the increase of distance. Every 1 floor, the noise will be reduced by about 10 dB. Moreover, the noise of air conditioners and cooling towers in high-rise residential buildings is very weak, and the traffic noise is relatively small.
If a high-rise building is close to the main road of the city, the noise in the middle 3~5 floors is often the biggest, while the noise above 8 floors is relatively small.
3. Relative physical and mental health. High-rise residential buildings are well lit, well ventilated, relatively bright and quiet, and people will be more relaxed. What is more advantageous is that the humidity of high-rise residential buildings is low, and the risk of diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatism is small.
Research shows that high-rise residential buildings can reduce the harm of radioactive pollutants-radon gas to human body. Because radon gas gradually decreases from low level to high level, the risk of lung cancer is effectively reduced.
At the same time, experts also pointed out that living too high also has the following disadvantages:
Although high-rise buildings can avoid noise to a certain extent, the noise is even higher than that of low-rise buildings with narrow roads around them. ?
The higher the floor, the more people will take the elevator, resulting in less exercise.
