"La pollution est un danger pour l'environnement."

Translation: Pollution is a danger to the environment.

Why is "Pollution is dangerous to the environment" not correct?!

[Nathan173901]

That would translate to: La pollution est dangereuse pour l'environnement. The same meaning, but it's not an idiomatic expression, therefore should be translated literally: être un danger - "to be a danger".

Could you say : "for" the environment instead of "to" the environment

[MaggieGold5]

Why is 'endangers the environment' not acceptable as an alternative translation?

Your sentence would translate as la pollution met en danger l'environnement. That is a different construction even if the meanings are very similar.
