Cooking fuel choices and household respiratory health in Nigeria

The persistent use of polluting cooking fuels in Nigeria, driven by socioeconomic factors, poses a severe risk to respiratory health. Policy interventions must be multifaceted: promoting cleaner transitional fuels (charcoal, and kerosene) for households unable to immediately adopt electricity and LPG alongside making clean fuels more accessible and affordable, especially in rural areas, and implementing public health campaigns on the dangers of indoor air pollution.
