אין טמא אלא התחתון. דכיון דטומאה בבית שלא כנגד ארובה, אין טומאה יוצאה בפחות מטפח, וטהורה העליה אע״פ שארובה של עליה סתומה:
הכל טמא. דכיון דטומאה כנגד ארובות ודבר טמא אינו חוצץ רואין אותו כאילו הוא נתון בפני הארובה העליונה ועירב את הטומאה:

Mishnayos Oholos Perek 10 Mishnah 6
אהלות פרק י׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
ארובה – that it sees the airspace.
וקדירה נתונה תחתיה – on the ground opposite the garret window. But it is not so wide that if it rises opposite the garret window that its rims would touch the garret window, but rather it goes out and enters with wide space.
טומאה בוקעת ועולה – but the house is ritually pure, and everything that overshadows it, which is not opposite the defilement is pure. But opposite the defilement is impure, for even though an earthenware vessel is not defiled from above it, here, that the defilement bursts forth within it is also impure, even though the defilement is below it. And all that is in the pot is impure, and even that which is not opposite the defilement.
תחתיה והבית טמא – that the pot overshadows over the defilement, since it is a handbreadth higher.
תוכה וגבה טהור – that the pot interposes in front of the defilement and protects with the walls of the tents.
בתוכה או על גבה הכל טמא – within it and on top of it and below it and the house. For the defilement that is upon it bursts forth underneath it, for it is a handbreadth higher, and further it doesn’t protect since the pot is impure.
ארובה. שהיא רואה את האויר:
וקדירה נתונה תחתיה. בארץ כנגד הארובה. ואינה רחבה כל כך שאם תעלה כנגד הארובה שיהיו שפתותיה נוגעות בארובה, אלא יוצאת ונכנסת בריוח:
טומאה בוקעת ועולה. והבית טהור, וכל המאהיל עליה שלא כנגד הטומאה טהור. אבל כנגד הטומאה טמא, דאע״ג דאין כלי חרס מטמא מגבו, הכא דטומאה בוקעת תוכה נמי טמא, אע״ג דטומאה תחתיה. וכל מה שבקדירה טמא ואפילו שלא כנגד הטומאה:
תחתיה והבית טמא. שהקדירה מאהלת על הטומאה, הואיל וגבוהה טפח:
תוכה וגבה טהור. שהקדירה חוצצת בפני הטומאה ומצלת עם דפנות אהלים:
בתוכה או על גבה הכל טמא. תוכה וגבה ותחתיה והבית. דטומאה שעל גבה בוקעת תחתיה, והרי גבוהה טפח, ושוב אין מצלת כיון דקדירה טמאה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

אין טמא אלא התחתון – for since the defilement is in the house but not opposite the garret window, the defilement does not leave/go out with less than a handbreadth [of an opening], and the upper chamber is pure even though the garret window of the upper chamber is concealed.
הכל טמא – for since the defilement is opposite the garret windows and an impure thing does not interpose, we see it as if it is placed in the mouth of the upper garret window and it combines/mixes the defilement.
