The invention provides a light promoting dehalogenation compound medicament / light combined method for removing halogenated organic matters in water, which relates to a method for removing halogenated organic matters in water. The invention overcomes various defects existing in the process of removing halogenated organic matters in water by using the current gas stripping method, activated carbon adsorption method, electrochemical removing method, advanced oxidation method, transition metal catalytic reduction method, vacuum ultraviolet technique or permeable reactive barrier technique. The method of the invention comprises the following steps: adding the light promoting dehalogenation compound medicament into the water containing halogenated organic matters for stirring, and then, carrying out optical radiation. The method of the invention does not need multi-stage removal, does not need expensive oxidants and catalysts, does not generate secondary pollution, does not need expensive vacuum ultraviolet light sources and high-energy radiation sources, can utilize common and cheap ultraviolet pop light sources or even expanding to visible light sources, improves the utilization efficiency of the light energy, can quickly remove the halogenated organic matters, can conveniently design a reactor, meets the requirements of various water bodies, is convenient in management, and can ensure the safety of the water quality.
