Hemolysis chemical action

Toxic effects may be classified by the nature of the hazard expressed (e.g., irritation), the timing of the resultant effects (eg., acute toxicity), the chemistry of the toxic agent (e.g., hydride gas), the intended use of die agent (e.g., acid etchants), or the mechanism of toxic action (e.g., red blood cell hemolysis). No classification system is any more correct than another, and the system utilized usually depends on the subjects and/or the agents under discussion. This discussion does not attempt to cover all known toxic effects, but rather generally addresses those toxic effects associated with chemicals foimd in plasma etching processes.
