Floors 3–6: The Secret to Safe and Comfortable Living in High-Rise Buildings

Which floor of a multi-storey building is safest and healthiest to live on depends on several factors. Below, we examine the main aspects:

1. In terms of safety (fire, evacuation):
- Floors 3–6 are considered optimal for safety
- Evacuation is easier
- In case of fire, emergency services can reach these floors more easily
- On floors above the 8th, evacuation may be more difficult, especially if the elevator is not working

2. Air quality:
- Lower floors (1–2): more dust, vehicle exhaust, and noise — especially in city centers
- Middle floors (3–7): air can be cleaner and of better quality
- Very high floors: sometimes oxygen is relatively lower (noticeable in very tall buildings), and air can be drier

3. Noise level:
- Lower floors: more street noise and pedestrian traffic
- Middle and upper floors: relatively quieter

4. Convenience:
- If the elevator is out of order, living on floors 4–6 is more convenient — not too hard to climb
- Lower floors are preferable for elderly people and families with children

Conclusion:
In most cases, floors 3–6 are considered the safest and most convenient for human living. On these floors:
- Evacuation is easier
- Noise is lower
- Air is relatively clean
- Moving around is not difficult (even if the elevator doesn’t work). Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
