Eight out of 10 households have air conditioners in Korea
By KH디지털2Published : July 29, 2016 - 16:48
About 80 percent of the country's total households own air conditioners as the country's summers are getting hotter amid global warming, a survey showed Friday.
The percentage, which came out via a Gallup Korea poll of 1,004 adults conducted from July 26-28, is a sharp increase from 6 percent in 1993, 14 percent in 1996 and 36 percent in 2001.
By region, Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, known as the hottest areas in the country, posted 92 percent.
The average room temperature when using AC was surveyed to be at 24.4 C degrees, lower than the government-recommended 26-28 C, the survey said.
About 14 percent of the respondents said they have suffered health problems because of air conditioning. (Yonhap)
