What Is a Safe Level of NO2?

By the EPA Air Quality Index, nitrogen dioxide is Good — safe for everyone up to 53 ppb (AQI 0–50). From 53 to 100 ppb is Moderate (AQI 51–100): acceptable for most people, though unusually sensitive individuals may notice symptoms. Above 100 ppb the air turns Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups and EPA health guidance applies.
