The average IQ, by definition, is 100.
Ocean fish that are high on the food chain have always been high in mercury. We don't eat a whole lot of land predators, especially those that predate on predators of predators of predators of predators of predators. There's a natural concentration that occurs.
There are very few spots in most American cities where you can't stop your car for fear of crime. (I haven't spent enough time driving around Europe to judge)
Drinking river water is asking for giardia - it's not a new phenomenon, just a reduced resistance because of our consumption of purified water - much like polio.
In-city polution (in the 1st world at least) is on the decrease.
Food does not create heavy metals in the water.
Science > paranoia.
