Why is halon illegle?

Before we start, let's clear something up: The storage, use and sale of RECYCLED Halon is not illegal. In fact, it is encouraged, and many professional fire protection services companies specialize in Halon recycling and recharge. That said, the production of NEW Halon was outlawed in 1994 under the Clean Air Act. Halon is a potent CFC and is very damaging to the atmosphere. However, since their is no known method of disposing of existing Halon supplies (and since it is such a powerful fire suppressant), recycled Halon is still a popular means of controlling fires in many commercial applications. Fun fact: the FAA requires Halon use on all commercial airlines!
