harmful or unfavorable
Bad for someone or something; causing harm or a negative result.

adverse [conditions/effects/impact] on [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "adverse" with "averse." "Adverse" describes something harmful or not good (adverse effects, adverse weather), while "averse" describes a person who strongly dislikes or is against something (She is averse to change). Learners also sometimes put "adverse" after the noun (e.g., *the effects are adverse*), which is possible but much less common than using it before the noun (adverse effects).
Synonyma
harmful (Directly suggests causing physical or other damage.)
|
unfavorable (Stresses that conditions are not good or helpful, but slightly more neutral than "harmful.")
|
detrimental (More formal; strongly emphasizes damaging long-term effects.)
|
negative (Broad term for bad or not desired results or effects.)
Antonyma
beneficial (Emphasizes producing good or helpful results, the opposite of causing harm.)
|
favorable (Describes conditions or results that help success instead of blocking it.)
|
positive (Indicates good or desired results instead of bad ones.)
