Coal power plants have very little to do in overall pollution though. Electricity is something you need all year and from what I’ve seen in summer air is clean in entire Europe, there are no exceptions.
As for gas I haven’t looked much into that but I remember reading a news story that said Poland was depending on Russian gas until war in Ukraine started. Now they import gas via sea.
[Edit] - small clarification since people downvote this to oblivion.
I’m not saying that coal power plants are ok or anything. I’m just saying that most of that pollution is coming from other places.
the reason why air pollution gets worse during the winter is that cold air is denser and moves slower than warm air, which traps the pollution for longer in one spot. this problem is especially prominent in cities and valleys, and if your city is in a valley?- Well there’s a reason why shops here sell masks during the winter, nobody wears them, but hey it’s an option i guess

As for proof: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Europe
According to this table Germany produces twice as much energy as Poland from fossil fuels. How is that Germany has relatively clean air?

Then how is that Germany is producing twice the energy from fossil fuels than Poland and they still have relatively clean air? Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Europe
Among others, Poland runs one of the biggest, dirtiest, least efficient coal plants in the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bełchatów_Power_Station

Could it be that air moves in what is commonly called as wind?
