Is Drano actually bad for the environment?

Asked by finkelitis (1907points) April 14th, 2011

I had always assumed Drano was horribly toxic, but I recently happened across an article that said that the chemicals in Drano break down into harmless components once they reach soil or water, and that the main danger in using it was to yourself (the burn photos are pretty horrible). Can any chemist confirm that this is true? I haven’t been able to find a second verification online.
