The paper presents the problems related to exercises that allow to prepare people, military equipment, and other rescue groups to prevent and minimize the number of victims in the case of the use of modern means of poisonous or radioactive ones. Such exercises can be carried out in the facility that is hermetically separated from the external environment, and a functional system of chambers allows to exercise and carry out activities that may occur in the real world after the use of toxic or radioactive warfare agents. These agents could cause disease in humans and degradation of natural environment. The tunnel enables to hold adequate exercises that familiarize practitioners with the correct principles to identify the toxic substance, and then to follow safe handling of their disposal with uniforms, weapons, and equipment. Certain chambers do protection of the skin and the respiratory tract against a particular toxin through a secure procedure for removing protective clothing and bath under the shower disinfectant and hygiene, to finally wear clean clothing or uniforms.Keywords: construction, chemical toxics, protection of exercising personnel and natural environmen
