Abstract
This aim of this study was to analyse the pattern of cooking fuel use on household respiratory health in Ibadan. Using the survey research design, a sample of 400 household was drawn from Ibadan population. The result of the study showed that cooking fuel choice has important implications for household respiratory health in Ibadan. The use of unclean cooking fuel seems particularly dangerous and is associated with high risk of respiratory health issues. This is mainly related to the use of firewood as its use is associated with the highest incidence of respiratory health challenges according to the study’s findings.
