What is a human health hazard or nuisance? 

An environmental health nuisance is a condition that may adversely affect the health, comfort, safety, or well-being of the public.

Human health hazards are substances, activities, or conditions that are known to have the potential to cause acute or chronic illness, injury, or death if exposure to the substance, activity or condition is not stopped.
