Everyone can make their own decisions about how much time they want to spend outdoors versus indoors. I encourage you to do the research yourself if it’s important to you, and make appropriate lifestyle choices. From the second link:

> World Health Organization has said that household cooking with coal or biomass-burning stoves led to 4.3 million deaths in 2012, compared with 3.7 million deaths from outdoor air pollution.

And that’s just talking about one of many different sources of pollution. There are so many sources of pollution indoors, sources that are very close to you physically, that you should carefully consider these factors and the statistics surrounding them.

For example, I don't live in a country where "household cooking with coal or biomass-burning stoves" is even a thing. I have an induction stove. In fact the air outside of my house is almost certainly worse because of a nearby highway.

Again, you are focusing on one specific source as an example. Feel free to ignore a decade of research on this topic -- but it's worth getting informed IMO.
