Urban people spend more time indoors than outdoors, and for this reason indoor air pollution causes more damage to human health than outdoor air pollution. Average deaths caused by indoor air pollution are 1.85 million (rural) and 0.36 million (urban) compared to 0.51 million deaths per year caused by outdoor pollution.
