PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish a chemically safe method of decomposing a halogenated aromatic compound, capable of substantially completely decomposing the halogenated aromatic compound including PCB or the like without requiring a process of treating a by-product of the decomposition or without generating additional harmful matters (by-products), and controlling the rate of decomposition of a main solvent. SOLUTION: The method of decomposing the halogenated aromatic compound is to decompose the halogenated aromatic compound by contacting a medium including the halogenated aromatic compound, a strong alkaline substance and a substance to be decomposed by the strong alkaline substance to generate hydride ions with a catalyst and a heat-resistant and alkaline-resistant polar solvent at the temperature from the normal temperature to 250°C.
