Physical factors Physical agents include mechanical injuries, extremes of temperature, electricity and radiation. Chemical factors Chemical agents: can damage cells by varies pathways. For instance, corrosive chemicals, such as strong acids and alkalis, can destroy cells at the site of contact. Other chemical
