Abstract		Chemical warfare agents are defined as any chemical substance whose toxic properties are utilized to kill, injure or incapacitate an enemy in warfare and associated military operations. There has been a legislative effort worldwide to ban the use of them under the chemical weapons convention which came into force in 1997. However the manufacture of these agents cannot be completely prohibited as some of them have potential industrial uses. The easeof manufacturing these agents and effectiveness during combat or small-scale terrorist operations still make them a powerful weapon to reckon with. In this review we will discuss briefly about properties, mechanism of toxicity, clinical features of exposure and pharmacological management of poisoning caused by chemical agents.
Summary		Kot kemijski bojni strupi so definirane vse tiste kemične snovi, ki zaradi svojih toksičnih lastnosti delujejo na sovražnika in povzročijo bodisi njegovo smrt, poškodbe ali ga onesposobijo za nadaljnje bojevanje. Kljub sprejemu konvencije leta 1997, ki prepoveduje njihovo uporabo kot orožje, proizvodnja nekaterih izmed njih ni popolnoma prepovedana zaradi njihove uporabnosti kot industrijske surovine. Zaradi enostavnosti priprave teh snovi in njihove učinkovitosti moramo še vedno računati na njihovo možno uporabo v vojaške ali teroristične namene. V prispevku navajamo lastnosti teh snovi, mehanizme, preko katerih povzročajo škodljive učinke, v kratkem pa so predstavljene tudi klinične značilnosti izpostavitve tem snovem in priporočila za zdravljenje zastrupitev z njimi.
