A method for decomposing halogenated aliphaticnhydrocarbon compounds or aromatic compoundsncharacterized by contacting the compound to bendecomposed with functional water under lightnirradiation, wherein the functional water isncharacterized by a hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of 1n- 4, an oxidation-reduction potential of 800 - 1500 mVn(working electrode: platinum, reference electrode:nsilver-silver chloride) and a chlorine concentration ofn5 - 150 mg/l, and the irradiation is carried out withnlight of a wavelength of 300 nm or more, with annintensity of 10 mW/cm 2 or less. This method is carriednout at room temperature under the atmospheric pressure.nAn apparatus for the method is also provided. |
