veszélyeztetése

Veszélyeztetése is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb veszélyeztet, meaning "to endanger" or "to threaten." The term is used in both everyday and legal contexts to describe actions or situations that pose a risk to people, property, or the environment.

In legal language, veszélyeztetése often appears in statutes concerning public safety, environmental protection, and consumer rights. For example, the Hungarian Act on the Protection of Physical and Moral Rights of the Public prohibits the endangerment of the community by hazardous activities, such as the improper disposal of toxic waste. In criminal law, an individual may be charged with veszélyeztetése of life or health if they engage in conduct that creates a real and imminent threat to another person’s well-being.

The concept is closely related to the principle of non‑maleficence in medical ethics, where healthcare professionals must avoid actions that could harm patients. Vezélyeztetése is used in this context to describe violations of professional duty that result in patient harm or risk.

In environmental policy, the term highlights the impact of industrial processes that endanger ecosystems. European Union directives that aim to mitigate the negative effects of pollutants also refer to the veszélyeztetése of marine and terrestrial environments, obliging member states to implement mitigation measures.

The phrase is frequently encountered in media reports, typically in headlines about accidents, chemical spills, or sporting events that highlight the danger to participants or spectators. It serves as a concise way to emphasize the importance of safety measures in a variety of sectors.
