haitallisuudestaan

Haitallisuudestaan is a Finnish noun phrase formed from haitallisuus (harmfulness) and the suffix -estaan, used to refer to the harmfulness of something in a clause. In Finnish, haitallisuus denotes the property of causing harm or being harmful; haitallisuudestaan literally translates as “of its harmfulness” or “about its harmfulness,” depending on context. It is typically used in risk communication, scientific writing, and regulatory discussions to discuss how harmful something is under certain conditions.

Usage examples are common in risk assessments and health or environmental literature. For instance, sentences such as “Aineen haitallisuudestaan on raportoitu useissa tutkimuksissa” illustrate how the term frames information about potential harm. The phrase can describe the health, environmental, or societal risks of chemicals, technologies, or policies. It is not a standalone quantitative measure; rather, it signals that an analysis addresses harm and its evidential basis.

Context and nuance: the concept is context-dependent; what constitutes harmfulness varies with exposure level, duration, vulnerable populations, and other factors. In Finnish texts, haitallisuudestaan is often accompanied by explanations of evidence, uncertainties, or regulatory conclusions. The term is common in official assessments, safety literature, and journalism when summarizing risks or communicating safety concerns.
