  3. I read "The Story of the Scary High-Rise Apartment Building."

I read "The Story of the Scary High-Rise Apartment Building."

The subtitle is
It's true that living on a high floor makes you more likely to have a miscarriage!
.
I knew about this story before, but I had never read a book that explained it in detail.
It was the first time I read it.
According to this book, the data published by the Japanese Society of Clinical Environmental Medicine in 2010
And the result was as follows:
Miscarriage rate for women aged 33 and over
66.7th floor or higher: XNUMX%
6th to 9th floors: 38.1%
3th to 5th floors: 21.1%
1th to 2th floors: 22.4%
.
If we look at all ages, the number drops a little, but it is still around 6.8% for the XNUMXst and XNUMXnd floors.
The result is a striking 38.9% for those on the XNUMXth floor or higher.
The survey was conducted on a sample of 100 people, so I think the results have a certain degree of statistical reliability.
Furthermore, the longer a woman has lived in the country, the higher her miscarriage rate.
Apart from the miscarriage rate
Neuroticism rate
Hypothermia in children
Allergies
Asthma
Hives
rhinitis
High blood pressure
Family relationship problems
In items such as these, we can see a tendency for the situation to worsen as the score increases.
This has been pointed out in the UK since the 1960s.
In fact, the number of high-rise buildings built in the EU since 53 is XNUMX% of that in Japan.
In comparison, the EU average is just 8%.
It is also said that families, especially those with preschool children, should not live there.
The cause is unknown. However, the statistical results show that
It seems like it will be.
My basic philosophy is, "If there's anything suspicious, don't use it."
Yes. Even though there are so many statistical results, there are still people who say, "We don't know the causal relationship.
I can't imagine thinking, "It's okay because of that."
What's strange is that the above survey was conducted at the request of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Despite the fact that there are many studies, almost none of the results have been published or
No warning was given. And of course, restrictions on high-rise housing were announced.
This means that it has not been done.
Looking at these things, there are some that overlap with the tendency for government officials to cover up things after the nuclear power plant incident.
I have always disliked high-rise apartment buildings, but ironically, most
For Japanese people, living on a high floor of a high-rise apartment building is a sign of celebrity.
The prices are also set high.
Do people who buy these types of apartments know the above facts?
I think most people probably don't know this.
So, if you had known, would you have not bought it? I would love to know that too.
It is place.
Due to the recession and declining population, we are entering an era where newly built condominiums are not selling.
I once spent a period of time designing apartment buildings, so I also have experience with apartment buildings.
I understand that to some extent. In the condominium industry, there are exceptions to the rule.
It is a high-rise apartment building known as a tower apartment building.
If we were to announce something like this publicly, it would be a big deal!
I can only imagine that this will not be publicized or regulated. As with most things,
In this country, government offices and vested interests take priority over the safety of the people.
It seems the only way to protect yourself is with your own knowledge.
