Welding fumes contain hazardous substances such as metal oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ozone, which pose serious health risks in confined workshop environments. Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory diseases including asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer. This project focuses on developing a portable IoT-enabled welding fume extractor for educational workshops, specifically at Institut Kemahiran MARA Johor Bahru. The system integrates real-time gas monitoring to detect dangerous fume levels and activates filtration to improve air quality. By providing continuous monitoring and safety alerts, the device enhances protection for students and lecturers while promoting a healthier and safer learning environment during welding activities.
