Yes, you can! You can use "threat" instead of "hazard" without changing the meaning of the sentence significantly. In fact, "threat" sounds more natural than "hazard" in this context. Ex: The virus is a serious biological threat. Ex: There are various biological hazards in this area, so you have to be careful and wear a hazmat suit.
