摘要

该研究评估了木柴使用对奥贡州农村妇女健康的影响。从奥贡州四个地方政府区随机抽取128名答复者的样本。采用结构化问卷收集数据。数据分析采用百分数。大多数受访者已婚(91%)，平均年龄为50岁。大多数受访者(86.7%)使用木柴做饭，使用木柴而不是其他替代品的原因是没有其他来源(40%)和有木柴(33%)。被调查者感知到的健康影响主要是柴火烟雾引起的不适(≥2.81)和眼睛刺激(≥2.53)。该研究建议在农村地区以补贴价格提供对健康危害较小的替代能源，因为这是使用柴火的主要吸引力。

Perception of the Effects of Fire Wood Usage on Rural Women’s Health in Ogun State Nigeria

The study assessed the effects of firewood usage on rural women health in Ogun State. Samples of 128 respondents were randomly selected from four local government areas of Ogun State. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire. Percentages were used for data analysis. Majority of the respondents were married (91%) with a mean age of 50 years. Most of the respondents (86.7%) used firewood for cooking, the preference of the utilization of firewood over other alternatives was due to non-availability of other sources (40%) and availability of firewood (33%). Some perceived health effects on the respondents were discomfort caused by the smoke from the firewood (𝑥 ̅= 2.81) and eyes irritation (= 2.53). The study recommended alternative energy sources that are with lesser health hazards be made readily available at subsidized rate in the rural areas since this was the major attractive driving force for the use of firewood.
