FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Insalubre

Insalubre: Hazardous to one’s health, unhealthy.

As seen in: « Alors que 19 nouveaux cas s’ajoutent au lourd bilan de la légionellose, la santé publique confirme que le tiers des tours de refroidissement inspectées jusqu’ici étaient insalubres. »

(Translation: “As 19 new cases have been added to the massive outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease, public health officials have confirmed that a third of the air conditioners inspected to date were health hazards.”)
