Summary		Predšolski otroci so najpogostejše žrtve naključnih zastrupitev in predstavljajo približno 70% vseh posvetovanj v centrih za zastrupitve. Zastrupitve lahko učinkovito preprečujemo le, če smo seznanjeni, katere snovi so nevarne in lahko ogrožajo otrokovo zdravje. Vsa nevarna kemična sredstva imajo po predpisih na embalaži ustrezne grafične simbole ter opozorilne in obvestilne stavke, ki podrobneje opozarjajo na vrsto nevarnosti in potrebne varnostne ukrepe. V članku so navedena priporočila za varno uporabo in shravnjevanje za kemična sredstva, ki se najpogosteje uporabljajo v domačem okolju. Podana so tudi splošna navodila, kako ukrepati v primeru zastrupitve oziroma pri sumu na zastrupitev. Število zastrupitev lahko zmanjšamo, če kemična sredstva preudarno kupujemo, varno shranjujemo in pravilno uporabljamo.
