SMOGGO AIRNEUTRAL TECHNOLOGY
Meet the negative-ion technology behind SmogGo Novus: a compact, filter-free approach to your car’s air, without added fragrance.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH
Every drive creates its own environment. SmogGo AirNeutral Technology is SmogGo’s approach to in-car freshness: negative-ion technology in a compact device, designed to work without a fan, replacement filter or added fragrance.
UNDERSTANDING AIRNEUTRAL
Here’s the principle behind the technology—and how Novus fits into your car.
When connected to a compatible 12V socket, Novus releases negative ions into the surrounding air.
Negative ions can attach to airborne particles. Charged particles may then combine or settle on surfaces.
Place Novus in an open socket. Air movement and cabin conditions influence how ions and particles move.
The effects of ionization vary with conditions. Settled particles can remain on surfaces and should be cleaned away.
INSIDE THE DESIGN
From the electrode to the power source, explore the technical features behind Novus.
Novus uses a metal needle emitter and an internal high-voltage ion-generation circuit, powered through a compatible 12V car socket.
The vehicle socket supplies power during use. Ion generation depends on the complete circuit and emitter design, rather than input voltage alone.
The specified 3.8 million ions/cm³ is measured at 5 cm from the device. It describes output near the emitter, rather than a cabin-wide concentration.
A fanless design with no replacement filter. Air movement in the cabin influences how ions and airborne particles travel.
Novus combines an aluminium-alloy housing with a protected emitter outlet. Keep the protective cover in place and follow the supplied care guidance.
The reported ion-output, bacteria, pollutant and ozone measurements are presented below with their stated conditions. Electronics standards are listed separately.
INSPIRED BY NATURE
From the woods to the seashore, negative ions are part of our natural surroundings. SmogGo AirNeutral Technology takes inspiration from nature to bring ion generation into your car.
ions/cm³
Urban and enclosed spaces can have lower negative-ion levels. Airborne particles and surrounding surfaces influence how quickly ions are lost.ions/cm³
Natural settings offer a different reference. Near moving water, splashing droplets generate negative ions through the Lenard Effect; concentrations vary with the surroundings.Specified output at 5 cm from the device. Novus continuously generates ions while powered. As ions travel, they can neutralise or attach to particles; airflow and distance affect their concentration.
Environmental ranges are illustrative and vary by location and measurement conditions. The Novus figure is measured near the device and does not represent a cabin-wide concentration or a direct comparison of air freshness.
THE SCIENCE OF AIRNEUTRAL
SmogGo’s technology uses negative ions to address particles and odours in the air without adding perfume.
Negative ions attach to airborne particles such as smoke, dust and pollen, helping them settle out of the air.
SmogGo AirNeutral Technology is designed to address odours and volatile organic compounds rather than cover smells with fragrance.
Controlled laboratory tests measured bacteria and pollutant reduction. The results are presented below with their stated conditions.
SMOGGO PRODUCT MATERIALS
Laboratory measurements are shown below with their stated conditions. Actual results vary with the vehicle and usage conditions.
Reported ion output measured at 5 cm.
Reported result for Staphylococcus albus after 120 minutes.
Formaldehyde: 76.1%; benzene: 77.2%, after 24 hours in a sealed 60-litre chamber.
Reported measurement at 5 cm.
Test conditions matter. Cabin size, airflow, pollutant levels and other factors can affect results in use.
ENGINEERING & STANDARDS
Novus has CE, FCC and RoHS conformity documentation. Novus combines a compact aluminium-alloy body with a solid-state, fanless design.
NATURE, AS INSPIRATION
Negative ions occur in natural environments such as waterfalls and mountains. SmogGo AirNeutral Technology brings the idea of ion generation into a compact device for the car, with measurements shown in their own context.

ENGINEERED FOR EVERYDAY USE
Novus plugs into an open 12V car power socket. Its compact, fanless design operates without replacement filters or fragrance refills.
THE DETAILS
A closer look at how to use Novus and understand the figures.
Negative ions are electrically charged molecules found in the air. Novus generates them using an electrode when connected to a compatible 12V socket.
No. Novus does not add perfume or use fragrance refills.
Novus is filter-free and has no replacement filter. Ionizers and filtered air purifiers work differently; their performance should be assessed using relevant test results.
Use an open, compatible 12V car socket, positioned so it does not obstruct driving controls. It does not connect to a USB or Type-C port.
The stated 3.8 million ions/cm³ is a product specification measured at 5 cm from the device. It is not the same as an ambient reading taken throughout a vehicle or outdoors.
Controlled tests describe performance under their stated conditions. A car’s size, airflow and other conditions can change results. Contact us for questions about product documentation.
