Welding fumes containing hazardous gases such as metal oxides, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ozone pose significant health risks, particularly in confined workshop environments like the Gas Department at Institut Kemahiran MARA Johor Bahru. Prolonged exposure may lead to serious respiratory conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer. This project presents the development of a compact and portable welding fume extractor integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time gas monitoring. The system is designed to effectively filter harmful fumes while continuously detecting and alerting users to unsafe gas levels. By combining efficient air filtration with smart monitoring capabilities, the proposed device aims to improve air quality, enhance safety during welding activities, and create a healthier learning environment for students and instructors.
