Cooking fuels are sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which persistent in the environment and have detrimental effects on human health. Fifteen PCBs congeners from smoke eight (8) commonly used cooking Nigeria were investigated this study. Glass fiber filters to collect air emissions during combustion a controlled chamber. PCB studied analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) their associated health risks evaluated. The (both carcinogenic non-carcinogenic) inhalation exposure evaluated for both children adults. daily rate ranged 4.44 × 105 6.16 fgTEQkg−1 adults 9.94 1.38 106 children. Hazard quotient (HQ) values obtained higher than acceptable limit 1. Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk (ILCR) varied between 2.40 10−3 3.33 6.211×10−4 8.62×10−4 This study recommends promoting clean technologies through policy interventions, public awareness campaigns, investment research development, reduce with harmful emissions.
