Coercing an organisation to produce potentially dangerous substance (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carcinogen

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

'potentially dangerous substance' is the definition.
'carcinogen' can be an answer for 'substance' (carcinogen is a kind of substance). I'm not sure about the 'potentially dangerous' bit.

'coercing an organisation' is the wordplay.
'organisation' is an anagram indicator.
'coercing'+'an'='coercingan'
'coercingan' is an anagram of 'CARCINOGEN'.

'to produce' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for carcinogen that I've seen is " Cause of cancer".)
