Is this sentence right?

"Exposure to biological samples may cause health hazard"

Should it not be... "Exposure to biological samples may be hazardous to health" or maybe "Biological samples can be a health hazard"?

Thanks in advance for evryone out there for your comments and any help.

I think you need exposure in whichever sentence you choose.

Exposure to biological samples may be a health hazard.

OR

Exposure to biological samples can be a health hazard.

Both are grammatically correct.  There seems to be less of a risk from exposure if you use may instead of can, in my opinion.
