I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is a health hazard' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'eccentric new cia apprehension' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' becomes 'card' (I've seen this before).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'apprehension' becomes 'arrest' (synonyms).
'cia' anagrammed gives 'iac'.
'card'+'iac'+'arrest'='CARDIAC ARREST'
