(57) [Problem] To provide a catalyst capable of detoxifying a halogen-containing organic compound efficiently and reliably at a sufficiently low temperature, and a method for detoxifying a halogen-containing organic compound using the catalyst. SOLUTION: The catalyst for detoxifying a halogen-containing organic compound of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of cerium oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, oxides of cerium and zirconium, and oxides of cerium, zirconium and aluminum. It is characterized by comprising at least one oxide having an oxygen vacancy introduced by a reduction treatment and a noble metal supported on the oxide. |
