Substance [...], autre qu'une substance nucléaire, qui est utilisée ou produit au cours d'une activité autorisée et qui peut présenter un danger pour l'environnement ou pour la santé et la sécurité.

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme «substance hasardeuse» est l'expression utilisée (malheureusement) dans la Loi sur les produits dangereux (et dans le Réglementation du Canada sur l'hygiène et la sécurité au travail) mais c'est un expression à proscrire : l'adjectif «hasardeux» ne peut qualifier une substance. On peut dire «une entreprise hasardeuse», «une affaire hasardeuse», mais pas une «substance hasardeuse». Quant à «substance nocive» ce n'est pas un équivalent juste de «hazardous substance», mais bien l'équivalent du terme anglais «deleterious substance». 5, record 1, French, - substance%20dangereuse
