	Halon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Halon 1211 and Halon 1301 are special-purpose fire extiguishing agents that were banned by the Montreal Protocol.
		HALON is an instrumental four-piece, hailing from Toledo, Ohio.
		Halon works by removing the Oxygen from the air and is not in use anymore because it is fatal to Humans.

	Halon Fire Protection FAQ
		Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion.
		Halon 1211 (a liquid streaming agent) and Halon 1301 (a gaseous flooding agent) leave no residue and are remarkably safe for human exposure.
		Halon, which has been in use for several decades, is most commonly found in two forms: 1211, a liquid streaming agent found in hand-held extinguishers which gasifies under normal atmospheric conditions, and 1301, a gaseous flooding agent which is found in built-in flood systems.

	Nat' Academies Press, Fire Suppression Substitutes and Alternatives to Halon for U.S. Navy Applications (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Use of halon enabled the Navy to adopt a casualty-reducing tactic of (1) taking the man out of the loop initially by abandoning the fire scene, (2) remotely actuating the halon 1301 flooding system, and (3) reentering the space when the fire was extinguished to deal with any minor residual flare-ups.
		Halon 1301 is used in machinery spaces and flammable liquid storage and issue rooms because of its effectiveness against those fires requiring total gas flooding, low toxicity, lack of agent-induced damage, and a relatively low system space and weight impact.
		Halon 1211 is used for so-called streaming or local applications where it is desirable to direct a stream of liquid agent to a localized fire.

	Cultural Heritage Fire Suppression Systems: Alternatives to Halon 1301
		Halon 1301 is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas which extinguishes the fire by chemically reacting with the combustion process.
		Halon gas, which cost approximately $7-$10 per pound in 1985, is expected to cost $80-$100 per pound by the year 2000.
		Like all other Halon 1301 system users, cultural institutions must closely evaluate continued use of their Halon 1301 systems and decide whether system use should continue or an alternative protection method is to be selected.

	National Halon Bank
		Halons are fully halogenated chemicals that have relatively long lifetimes in the atmosphere.
		Australia's success with halon phase-out meant that stocks of halon were rapidly accumulating within government, business and the community from the decommissioning of halon fire fighting systems and portable equipment.
		In 1993, the Australian Government established the National Halon Bank (NHB) to store decommissioned halon for destruction or reclamation to meet essential uses until an alternative was found for all current uses.

	U.S. EPA: Halon Blends & Technician Training
		The rule bans the manufacture of blends of these halons (i.e., blends containing two or more halons); and establishes certain provisions for training of technicians who handle halons and halon-containing equipment, releases of halons from halon-containing equipment during testing, maintenance, and other activities, and disposal of halons and halon-containing equipment.
		An exemption is provided for halon blends manufactured solely for the purpose of aviation fire protection, provided that blends produced under this exemption are recycled to meet the relevant industry purity standards for each individual halon.
		Halon releases that occur as a result of owner failure to maintain halon-containing equipment to relevant industry standards are also prohibited.

	NFPA Journal: Finding halon alternative
		Halon systems were also used to protect art collections and historical archives, as well as airplanes and ships.
		Because halon is a gaseous, "clean" extinguishing agent, it provided a high level of property protection with very little secondary damage, and low toxicity.
		Unfortunately, halon, pound for pound, is more likely to destroy the planet's ozone layer than the refrigerants found in a car's air conditioner.

		Halon 1301 has an ODP of between 10 and 16, depending on the specific model and assumptions used in the calculation.
		Halons were determined as responsible for at least ten percent of man-caused ozone layer depletion and, simplifying consideration, it is used primarily for one purpose only, fire protection.

	Halon disposal
		Halon was widely used in fire extinguishers used in cars, boats and domestically.

	Graviner - Halon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kidde Graviner (with our Kidde Plc affiliates) has formed a halon Task Force to conduct research and evaluation efforts and to represent our position in several international policy making organisations related to this subject. Kidde Graviner is active in the development and evaluation of numerous fire extinguishing alternatives to the environmentally harmful halons.
		Halon phase out in Europe for all non essential applications must be completed by December 2003 under the terms of European Commission regulation EC 2037/2000 on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
		Either option requires the used halon to be reprocessed using specialist equipment such as Kidde's REACH (REcovery And Conditioning for Halon) machines which Kidde Graviner use on their site at Colnbrook as part of their halon recovery and reprocessing business.

	Halon Alternatives
		Perhaps even more remarkable were the unique capabilities of halon which allowed the fire to be extinguished without harming the surrounding area.
		This document was issued for public comment in May of 1993, with a final ruling expected next May. In essence, SNAP covers the toxicity of every proposed halon alternative agent (which would be used in a normally occupied area) by authority of Section 612 of the Clean Air Act.
		SNAP has identified FM-200 as "hydrofluorocarbon agent that is considered an acceptable alternative to Halon 1301 in occupied and unoccupied areas..." It has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), is safe to human exposure and leaves no residue.

	The Situation with Halon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		With the introduction of the EC Regulation 2037/2000 the use of halon will be banned from 31st December 2002 and all systems must be de-commissioned for Halon 1211 and 1301 by the 31st December 2003, other than for Critical Users.
		The halon 1211 is difficult to recycle, since it is normally contained in a variety of small portable, hand held extinguishers, so the process is long and comparatively costly.
		Where halon is contaminated in any way, more commonly with refrigerants, or as a combination of both 1211 and 1301, then ultimately destruction is the only effective solution.

	3-III-1 HALON 1211 REPLACEMENTS
		Halon 1211 is a widely used fire suppression and explosion protection agent applied as a streaming agent and has been the fire extinguishing agent of choice for portable fire extinguishers in many aircraft, including the C-130.
		Halon has one of the higher ozone depletion potentials of any compound, and thus its production and use are being curtailed and eventually eliminated.

		An exemption is provided for halon blends formulated using recycled halon solely for the purpose of aviation fire protection, provided that halon blends produced under this exemption are recycled to meet the relevant purity standards for each individual halon.
		Recycled halon can be purchased from many halon and fire protection equipment distributors or directly from owners who are decommissioning their halon systems.
		The halon itself must be sent for halon recycling to a facility operating in accordance with NFPA 10 and NFPA 12A, or for destruction using one of several controlled processes identified in the regulation.

	Managed Phase Out of Halon Fixed Fire Suppression Systems
		This course of action is suggested for those situations where the Halon system has already been defined as "Essential" and where timely human intervention-to activate the system in the event of a fire will be assured.
		Prioritize existing Halon systems in order of importance to safety so that if one discharges and there is no more Halon available to replenish it, the capability exists to deactivate other system(s) that are of lesser priority.
		Be conscious of the fact that situations beyond DOE control may require that some or all of the existing Halon systems in our inventory be deactivated and portable extinguishers removed sooner than anticipated.
