Science - Genetics / GMO
English term or phrase: pathway(s) to harm
Hello,

In a document related to GMO, I found this expression: "pathways to harm".
There's not so much context, except, it relates to GMO. Here is for example on sentence including the expression:
"This step includes essentially the pathways to harm for each hazard, therefore classifying the likelihood of a hazard to occur."

I translated it: "les mécanismes de préjudice".
Do you have a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
Happy Sunday.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you very much again Bertrand. I'm not really sure if it is the best translation of "pathway(s) to harm". In the document (I can't provide so you couldn't know), there's a clear difference between "risk" (risque), "hazard" (danger) and "harm" (préjudice). The whole translation of the sentence I suggested is: "Cette étape comprend essentiellement les mécanismes de préjudice de chaque danger, classant ainsi la probabilité qu'un danger survienne." I just thought "mécanisme(s) de préjudice" sounds a bit heavy and wanted to check if there's another suggestion. What do you think? Your help is much appreciated :)
