The invention claimed is: 1. A process for decontaminating water polluted with halogenated hydrocarbon compounds (HHC), comprising pre-treating water contaminated with HHC, wherein said pretreatment converts low-volatility HHC compounds into more volatile HHC compounds, transferring the HHC from the aqueous phase to the gaseous phase at ambient temperature, and dehalogenating the gaseous phase HHC using catalytic reductive dehalogenation at a temperature between 50 degrees Celsius and 400 degrees Celsius. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein said pre-treatment is selected from the group consisting of alkaline hydrolysis and reductive dehalogenation using iron, zinc, or a combination thereof. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein the transferring step comprises stripping with an inert gas under reduced pressure. 4. The process according to claim 1, wherein the transferring step comprises indirect stripping of the HHC using in a hollow-fiber membrane module, wherein mass transfer between the aqueous and gaseous phases is mediated by a hydrophobic membrane. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein a catalyst for the catalytic reductive halogenation comprises between 0.1% and 20% by mass of a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, palladium, and platinum, disposed on a porous support. 6. The process according to claim 1, wherein the dehalogenating step takes place at temperatures between 100 and 350 degrees Celsius. 7. The process according to claim 1, wherein a dehalogenating step catalyst has a catalyst load between 360 and 36,000 v/vh, wherein the gaseous phase HHC contans from 0.1 to 99 vol.-% hydrogen. 8. The process according to claim 1, further comprising, passing said gaseous phase HHC over an absorber prior to the catalytic dehalogenation. 9. The process according to claim 8, wherein an active component in the absorber comprises zinc oxide. 10. A device for decontaminating water polluted with HHC, by a process comprising pre-treating the HCC contaminated water, transferring the HHC from the aqueous phase to the gaseous phase at ambient temperature, and dehalogenating the gaseous phase HHC using catalytic reductive dehalogenation at a temperature between 50 degrees Celsius and 400 degrees Celsius, wherein said device comprises: at least one pre-treatment chamber comprised of a cascade of from 2 to 10 containers connected in series and having suitable means for metering liquid chemicals at the inlet thereof, a stripping apparatus downstream of said pre-treatment chamber, a vacuum pump downstream of said stripping apparatus, a dehalogenation reactor including heater and catalyst downstream of said vacuum pump, a hydrogen halide scrubber downstream of said dehalogenation reactor, a contaminated water feed line for introducing contaminated water into said at least one pre-treatment chamber, a stripping gas feed line for feeding stripping gas to said stripping apparatus, and separate effluent lines in communication with said hydrogen halide scrubber for purified stripping gas and decontaminated water. 11. The device according to claim 10, wherein the pre-treatment chamber is filled with granulated iron having a particle size between 1 and 20 mm and a specific surface area of from 50 to 5000 m2/kg. 12. The device according to claim 10, wherein the pre-treatment chamber is filled with granulated zinc having a particle size between 1 and 20 mm and a specific surface area of from 10 to 1000 m2/kg. 13. The device according to claim 10, wherein each of the 2 to 10 containers in the pre-treatment chamber is filled with a bed of iron and zinc, wherein a pre-treatment chamber outlet is in communication with a container filled with an iron bed. 14. The device according to claim 10, wherein the stripping apparatus is a hollow-fiber membrane module. 15. The device according to claim 14, wherein the vacuum pump maintains a stripping apparatus gas pressure of 10 kPa. 16. The device according to claim 10, wherein the dehalogenation reactor comprises a heater and the dehalogenation reactor contains a bed of a pelletized catalyst comprising between 0.1% and 20% by mass of a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, palladium, and platinum, disposed on a porous support. 17. The device according to claim 10, further comprising a feed line for metering hydrogen to the gaseous phase HHC stream. 18. The device according to claim 10, further comprising an absorber upstream of the dehalogenation reactor. 19. The process according to claim 5, wherein the mass proportion of the metal disposed on the porous support is between 0.5 and 2%. 20. The process according to claim 7, wherein the gaseous phase HHC comprises from 0.5 to 25 vol-% hydrogen.
