Why are bathroom exhaust fans mounted in the ceiling?

Wouldn't down low next to the toilet be a better location?

Maybe even lower than the toilet and behind the toilet. Then the "smell"
would go down and back instead of forward and up!

Steam (water vapor) rises.

did you ever get a baloon at the store when you were a kid?
If you did you noticed it floated.......hum....

I think bath fans should blow air as well as suck air.......
that way they can stir it up and get it moving.......
just my idea.....

thats why they invented matches.......

The reason is to remove the moisture produced by shower which if not
removed will cause the ceiling paint to peel plus other deteration
factors. So use your ceiling fan when bathing. or you'll have problems.

Actually I seldom use mine, the HVAC input seems to do
it. Of course the bath door is never closed.
