i wonder how the author is going to separate the pollution obtained from breathing the smokey air in the hut from the cooking fire from that of any pollution in the outside atmosphere? From my experience with fires and cooking over them, the smoke always follows the cooker.

The indoor cooking was done in the cool times of the day (night, for example), when everyone else was sleeping — indoors. :’) Sleeping outdoors in commoners’ homes was done higher up, even on the roofs, because it was hard to fall sleep inside the houses until the sun had been down a few hours.
