Is there an accepted threshold for tropospheric NO2 concentrations above which it is considered harmful?

There are [1] but the bigger issue is that where NO2 is high, other toxins are also often high. You just can't measure them from space. Benzine is just one example of a carcinogen that can be higher in these areas. The data would need to be overlaid with ground sample data in the red zones.
