berbahaya

The translation for both are the same. Refer to Karyanet.
Having said that, I do agree with you that "merbahaya" and "memudaratkan" can be used for "dangerous" and "hazardous" respectively, although both terms are listed in Karyanet as old terms.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bashir Basalamah : Same term in Malay, berbahaya. But not memudaratkatkan, which is the term for "harmful", a different chemical risk.

agree Ramona Ali : Agree with Bashir, not memudaratkan. And please note that "mer" is not a valid imbuhan and therefore "merbahaya" is not a valid word. DewanEja would autocorrect this.

agree rose74 (X) : Agree with Ramona, "mer" not a valid prefix. However, "mem" is a valid prefix. Perhaps, "membahayakan" might be more suitable.
