Halon 1211, otherwise known as Bromochlorodifluoromethane, is an extremely effective fire fighting agent that has been employed in hand portable fire extinguishers for many years. Unfortuantely, halon 1211 has been found to be an ozone depletion agent, and its manufacture in the United States has been suspended since 1994.
