Kimyasal, biyolojik, radyolojik ve nükleer yani KBRN savaş ajanlarına bağlı tehdit ve bunlarla oluşabilecek kaza ihtimali maalesef hâlen güncelliğini korumaktadır. Dünyanın birçok yerinde bölgesel krizler, etnik çatışmalar, çeşitli radikal akımlar, uluslararası terörizm, KBRN silahlarının yaygınlaşması gibi faaliyetler genel güvenlik ve barış ortamını tehdit etmektedir. Özellikle 1980 yıllardan itibaren İran-Irak Savaşı ve yakın tarihimizde Kuzey Irak ve Suriye'de kullanılmasıyla dünya gündemine sıklıkla gelen kimyasal silahlar artık sadece savaş ortamlarında değil terör ve iç çatışmalarda da kullanılmasıyla coğrafi konum olarak stratejik bir konumda olan ülkemiz için hâlen önemli bir tehdit olma özelliğini korumaktadır.

Bu ajanlar, kullanılması durumunda sivil-asker ayırımı yapmadan büyük kitleleri etkileyebilecek özellikte olup maruz kalınması durumunda geniş spektrumlu bir müdahale ve yanıt sistemine ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu anlayıştan yola çıkarak, kimyasal savaş ajanları ile oluşan olay ve tehditlere yönelik alınacak tedbirlerden en önemlisi; kişi ve kurumların bu olaylara karşı hazır hâlde tutulması, bu konunun farkındalığının oluşturulması ve artırılmasıdır. Kimyasal savaş ajanları ile gerçekleşen saldırılar biyolojik ve nükleer silahlar ile olduğu gibi çok sayıda yaralı ve ölümün görülebileceği olaylardır ve bu açıdan hem askeri hem de sivil sağlık personelinin rolünün ilk müdahaleci olarak çok önemli olduğu, onların bu hastalara ve yaralılara uygun yaklaşımlarının yaşam ile ölüm arasındaki çizginin belirleyicisi olduğu gerçeği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu amaçla ülkemizde KBRN alanında akademik ve bilimsel öncülük yapan Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Tıbbi KBRN Anabilim Dalı öğretim üyeleri tarafından Ana Bilim Dalı Başkanı Prof. Dr. Selçuk KILIÇ editörlüğünde hazırlanan Türkiye Klinikleri'nin ''Güncel Bilgiler Işığında Kimyasal Savaş Ajanları'' isimli bu kitabı ile bu ajanlara yönelik sağlık personelinin uygulayacağı tıbbi müdahalenin bilimsel veriler ışığında en üst seviyede gösterilmesi hedeflenmiştir.

Bilim ve teknolojinin de gelişmesiyle, önümüzdeki yıllarda terör ve savaşlarda bu ajanların ve silahların daha da yoğun kullanılmasının beklendiği bu süreçte bir rehber özelliği taşıyan bu kitabımızın, tüm sağlık personeli meslektaşlarımız için faydalı olmasını diler; emeği geçen herkese şükranlarımı sunarım.

The threat due to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) warfare agents and the possibility of accidents that may occur beacuse of such agents are still up to date unfortunately. Activities including regional crises, ethnic conflicts, radical attacks, international terrorism and proliferation of CBRN weapons threaten the general security and peace in many parts of the world. Following the use in the Iran-Iraq war since the 1980s and in Northern Iraq and Syria recently, chemical weapons used not only in war environments but also in terrorism and internal conflicts and which have frequently come to the world agenda still remain as a threat to our country found in a strategic geographical location.

In case of these agents use, they are capable of affecting large populations without discriminating between civilian and military masses, and will require a broad-spectrum medical countermeasures and response system for the victims of exposure. Based on this understanding, one of most important measures required to be taken against incidents or threats caused by chemical warfare agents will be to keep the individuals and organizations prepared against these events, to create and increase the awareness on this issue. As seen in the events with biological and nuclear weapons, attacks with chemical warfare agents are those that may causea large number of injuries and deaths, and in this respect, it should be known that the role of both military and civilian health personnel as first responders is very important, and that their appropriate approach to these patients and casualties is the determinant factor between the life and death.

For this purpose, this book of Türkiye Klinikleri titled ''Chemical Warfare Agents in the Light of Current Information'' prepared by the faculty members of the Department of Medical CBRN of the University of Health Sciences, which is an academic and scientific pioneer in the field of CBRN in our country, under the editorship of Prof. Selçuk KILIÇ, MD, Head of the Department, aims to demonstrate the medical intervention to be applied by the healthcare personnel for these agents at the highest level in the light of scientific data.

With the development of science and technology, these agents and weapons are unfortunately expected to be used more intensively in terrorism and wars in future years. I wish that this our book, which is a guide within this process, would be useful for all our healthcare staff colleagues and I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed.
