The biological hazard or the harm induced by radiation is caused as a consequence of the ionization which they produce in the chemical constituents of the body tissues. To a large extent, the biological hazards from uranium intakes are increased probabilities of incidence of malignant diseases in the exposed populations, and an increased risk of passing on some genetic defects to their children or subsequent descendants by the exposed populations. 1, record 2, English, - biological%20hazard

Les risques biologiques ou les nuisances provoqués par les rayonnements sont dûs aux rayonnements ionisants qu'ils produisent dans les constituants chimiques des tissus de l'organisme. Les risques biologiques des apports d'uranium rendent de plus en plus probable, dans une large mesure, l'incidence des maladies malignes parmi les personnes exposées, et accroissent le risque que ces personnes communiquent certains défauts génétiques à leurs enfants ou à leurs descendants. 3, record 2, French, - risque%20biologique

Les définitions des mots «danger» et «risque» décrivent deux aspects de la même réalité; la première met l'accent sur les propriétés intrinsèques de la substance ou du mélange considéré, et la seconde sur les conséquences effectives ou potentielles d'une activité faisant intervenir ladite substance ou ledit mélange. 2, record 2, French, - risque%20biologique
