The term CBRN refers to situations that are harmful and dangerous for humans and the environment caused by the deliberate or accidental spread of chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear materials. CBRN agents used as weapons of mass destruction since ancient times; As a result of being active in the wars that have been going on for a long time and the development of weapon technology, it has been an extremely deterrent force for the countries of the world and terrorist organizations. These agents, which may cause harm to living things, the environment, even future generations, are important risk factors for each of us. Health teams and all organizations involved in rescue operations are expected to be ready for these agents to respond to any CBRN exposure. In this study; the risk perceived by the health workers and university students associated with CBRN during emergency preparedness, rescue, readiness to respond to a CBRN event were investigated. As a result, the perceived risk (3,71) in a five-point Likert rating was found to be slightly higher than willingness-volunteering (3,41) and use of personal protective equipment (3,36). It was concluded that people who are expected to participate in the CBRN intervention team should receive CBRN training and that their expected use of personal protective equipment and volunteerism should be increased.
