Therapist Yulia Kovalenko: the floor on which a person lives in an apartment building affects his susceptibility to various diseases.
Therapist Kovalenko explained in an interview why it is dangerous to live on the first or second floor.

The doctor added that the lower floors are close to basements with fungus and mold spreading there, and residents of the first floors face this problem in their apartments. In addition, a lot of street dust and vehicle exhaust gases penetrate into their homes, which have a toxic effect on the body.

It is especially harmful to live on floors starting from the twenty-fifth and above. Usually in apartments at such a height there is no possibility for natural ventilation. The doctor stated:
