While I can’t find any relevant statistics I’m sure you’re right. But still, I’ve been in few different countries in Europe and AC isn’t as rare as some might think and I think everyone has a fridge that also has to work extra hard during summer. Compare that to winter, what takes most of the energy? Electric heaters? Doubt many people use that, electricity in Europe is just too expensive.
Whatever the case it’s a fact that air is most polluted in winter during the highest cold.
To my knowledge AC in places north of italy is basically nonexistent in private homes. Mediterranean countries do often have it though. Poland certainly doesn’t commonly.
Fridges don’t even remotely compare to AC in power consumption, and inside temperature doesn’t differ as much as outside temperature in summer vs. winter because in winter the inside gets heated, and in summer insulation still keeps it below outside temps usually.
A/C in homes is not as popular in Poland as it is in the US
