Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing ecological protection with respect to equipment using halogenated hydrocarbons in which the release, escape or discharge of a halogenated hydrocarbon from such equipment is detected, and a source of radiation for effecting selective dissociation of the halogenated hydrocarbon is energized to separate the halogen atoms therefrom and to convert them to a halide salt.
