Type II Atmosphere
Type II atmospheres have appropriate levels of atmospheric oxygen, but due to lack a of sufficient pressure, the presence of contaminants or trace gases or even because of biological threats, these atmospheres cause detrimental effects to most sentient species over time. Most species can breathe Type II atmospheres without any trouble for short durations. Planets with a Type II atmosphere always have native life. Though not necessary for short excursions, a breathing mask is advised for most species visiting a world with a Type II Atmosphere.
Terrestrial planets and moons in goldilocks orbit with Natural Life can have a Type II Atmosphere.
