AeroGuard fine dust sensor – original replacement module
The AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor: the professional air quality monitor for welding halls and workshops. This indoor air quality monitor continuously checks 11 parameters, such as harmful fine dust, carbon dioxide, and VOCs. Now you can truly see how clean the air at your workplace is.
The assurance of a safe workplace. Simple as that.
As a welder, you’re constantly exposed to hazardous substances. Welding fumes are released during your work — a mix of gases and fine particles that can penetrate deep into your lungs and cause serious harm. According to the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer, source), welding fumes are proven to be carcinogenic.
That’s why it’s absolutely essential to monitor air quality while welding. With the AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor, this becomes effortless. It gives you real-time insight into whether you’re breathing safe, clean air.
Developed by Plymovent: over fifty years of global expertise in clean air.
The robust AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor is specially designed for accurate measurements and intensive use in industrial environments.
This welding fume and air quality monitor detects:
The colored LED ring shows you at a glance whether the threshold of any parameter in the room has been exceeded.
The AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor has two programmable (relay) outputs that can activate universal air purification systems. For example, connect your welding fume monitor to a filtration or ventilation system.
This gives you full control over the air quality at your workplace!
To ensure you’re not exposed to health risks! In welding halls and workshops, polluted welding fumes can accumulate without being noticed. Contaminated air also easily spreads to other areas via stairwells or corridors.
Often, you won’t notice the short-term effects of poor air quality: irritated airways, stinging eyes, itchiness, increased heart rate, mild rise in blood pressure, headaches, fatigue, or blurred vision.
However, the long-term effects of inhaling welding fumes can be irreversible: think chronic bronchitis, reduced lung function, asthma, increased risk of lung cancer, inflamed mucous membranes, accelerated cognitive decline, higher risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, and dementia…
Air quality also directly impacts productivity, absenteeism, and employee satisfaction.
Thanks to the AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor, you can take action before harmful welding fumes affect your health.

Breathing in polluted air once may not seem harmful. You usually can’t see or smell how clean the air truly is. The actual health risk from inhaling welding fumes depends on three factors: how toxic the fumes are, how concentrated they are, and how long you’re exposed.
If you occasionally inhale welding fumes, you may experience:
Short-term effects of exposure to welding fumes: irritated airways, coughing, sore throat, stinging eyes or nose, itching, increased heart rate, slight rise in blood pressure, headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, or blurred vision.
As a welder, you may also inhale small amounts of welding fumes over a longer period. This can cause serious, chronic, and often irreversible damage to your health!
Long-term effects of exposure to welding fumes: chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases, reduced lung function, asthma, increased risk of lung cancer, inflamed mucous membranes, accelerated cognitive decline and Parkinson-like symptoms, higher risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack or stroke, and dementia…
Also note that welding fumes are toxic to your unborn baby if you are pregnant. People with respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD may experience more severe symptoms when inhaling welding fumes. Older welders or those with weakened health are especially vulnerable to welding fume exposure.
Polluted air also has indirect consequences for both you and your employer. Indoor air quality affects your productivity, absenteeism, and job satisfaction. If you’re working in unhealthy conditions, you’re likely to be less motivated and less focused. You may work slower or make more mistakes.
Breathing clean air keeps you fit and focused. The workplace atmosphere improves, and the company culture becomes more positive. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Side note: When attracting new employees, the assurance of clean air in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. Investing in healthy working conditions is just as essential as having effective production methods and quality machinery. Because at Plymovent, we believe: you don’t take risks with your people’s health.
Of course, you can protect yourself from harmful emissions in welding fumes. The most important thing is to be aware that you’re working with hazardous substances. Are you doing all of this?
To be absolutely sure you’re not putting your health at risk! In welding halls and workshops, contaminated welding fumes can build up unnoticed. Polluted air can also easily move to other areas, such as stairwells or corridors. You must avoid the short- and long-term health effects of poor air quality at all costs. There is no job worth risking your health for.
If you want to stay motivated, healthy, and fit for work in the long run, you need to control the welding fume levels in your workspace.
You can (have someone) measure the toxic substances in welding fumes to know how safe the air at your workplace really is.
The main measurement strategies:
The result from method 1 is only available after a lengthy lab analysis. It’s also a snapshot — conditions may be different at other times of the day.
Methods 2 and 3 are easier. You can perform these yourself using a professional air quality monitor like the AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor.
The AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor is calibrated to measure exact levels of fine dust in welding fumes. The device detects both the number of particles and the size of those fine dust particles, and indicates the air quality via its LED ring: green means safe, orange means moderate, and red means harmful.
Place the compact air quality meter or mount it in the welding area. Beforehand, use the app to select which parameter you want the 360° LED ring to display — for example, fine dust (PM) or VOCs. The LED ring gives you instant clarity about the air quality. If the ring turns red while working, it’s time to take action and improve ventilation or filtration. AeroGuard will also send a notification when another threshold is exceeded. You can even program the device to automatically activate a filtration or ventilation system.
The AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor continuously measures eleven critical parameters. The remaining ten values can be viewed easily via the free app or the dashboard (with a premium subscription). You can also spot trends and spikes in a clear overview. This gives you full control over your indoor air quality — and your health.
Absolutely — it performs optimally in heavily polluted spaces. The AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor is specifically designed for precise measurements and long-term use in industrial settings. Its housing, sensors, and internal components are all built to be robust and durable, with protected internal electronics.
The AeroGuard is ideal for monitoring air quality in factories, welding halls, workshops, garages, and fire stations. It’s calibrated to accurately measure fine dust levels in welding fumes, detecting both the number and size of airborne particles. It also monitors invisible pollutants commonly found in industrial spaces, such as fine dust, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — all of which can negatively impact the health and wellbeing of welders, technicians, and maintenance staff. To keep your workforce healthy, motivated, and productive over time, clean air is essential.
The AeroGuard gives you complete control over air safety, ensuring a healthier work environment and optimal workforce
Yes, it can. By default, the AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor includes two programmable (relay) outputs, which allow the device to activate other universal air filtration or HVAC systems. For example, you can connect the AeroGuard to a filter unit, ventilation system, or climate control system for temperature and humidity.
With the online dashboard (available with a premium account), you gain access to advanced configuration options for these outputs. You can define which parameter triggers the output and at what threshold an external system should be activated.
By default (without a premium account), the two outputs are controlled by the primary parameter shown via the LED ring.
After activating a premium subscription, you gain access to the dashboard linked to your AeroGuard Welding Fume Monitor. Especially for larger buildings or multiple rooms, this dashboard takes air quality monitoring to the next level.
The dashboard offers several advantages compared to the app:
