The phrase "a deleterious result" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing outcomes that are harmful or damaging in some way.
Example: "The experiment yielded a deleterious result, leading to unforeseen consequences for the environment."
Alternatives: "a harmful outcome" or "a detrimental effect."
The estimation of risk (i.e., the probability of a deleterious effect resulting from exposure) involves both the qualitative evaluation of whether a hazard exists and the quantitative evaluation for determining an acceptable level of exposure in humans.
We thus reasoned that an artificial increase in the copy number of a rare tRNA, but not of an abundant one, might result in a deleterious effect on the cells.
Disorders associated with a decreased taste sensation may result in a deleterious effect on quality of life and may contribute to reduced food intake and malnutrition, thereby increasing the side effects of cancer therapy (Comeau et al, 2001).
In the ICU, except for once-daily analysis which represents a 'spot check' of the physiological state of the patient, indications for sampling are essentially the result of a deleterious event [ 4].
Because both the infected and control ticks were siblings derived from the same field-engorged females used to start a laboratory colony, reared under the same laboratory conditions during the whole study, we conclude that the lower survival and reproductive performance of infected females was a result of a deleterious effect caused by the R. rickettsii infection.
One would expect that a deleterious effect on growth would result from a change in membrane fluidity due to a drop of total unsaturated FAs.
As illustrated by transmission electron microscopy, coarsening of uncompatibilized blends occurs under certain molding conditions resulting in a deleterious effect on blend properties.
Evidence is presented which suggests that residual acids present in emulsion-made ABS material may cause a crosslinking reaction involving the epoxide functionality of MGE terpolymers resulting in a deleterious effect on the ABS mechanical properties and its blends with PBT.
Results suggest a deleterious effect of ambient air pollution on asthma incidence in adults.
For self-reported exposure, the overall pattern of results suggested a deleterious effect of SHS exposure on COPD-related health status, but the estimates were imprecise in many cases.
