From the article: "The chemicals in bleach “are persistent in the environment, and they’re also very corrosive,” she added."
This seems incomplete at best and disingenuous at worst.
It's my understanding that chlorine bleach breaks down into oxygen, NaCl, and water.
So, sure, you can argue that salt water is persistent in our environment and also corrosive, but that statement strikes me the same way as how people have long warned about the dangers of ever present dihydrogen monoxide in almost everything we consume these days.
