 Hi there
I have read the question. In my opinion,Here there is no question of any particular air ( like air outside ). Here a comparision is being made between two different things. If we make the characteristics of the air outside the house fixed like by saying ' air from the factory chimney' etc, then there is a need for THE. Hence the sentence with given option is correct.
Example:
1)The Mango is more sweet than the Orange.(particular comparision, only one mango and orange)
2)The Mango tastes more sweet than does Orange.( Comparision between mango and orange in general, nothing in particular)
The second example is more relevent to the given question. This is a crude explanation and is open to question. It may also be wrong. Please reconfirm and reply me.
