In developing countries they have poor stoves at home which give of smoke/CO which is harmful aka indoor air pollution. A good easy way to prevents deaths/harm from these is to provide them with quality stoves. So depending on where you heard it, air pollution could mean these stoves which typical don't exist in the developed world

Frying things even on induction still easily drives particulate matter pollution to levels of bad days in China/India.
Even in developed countries, I think most homes still have gas stoves which are bad for indoor air quality.
