I can answer your queries in more detail later but:

This is why we (devotees) should not take milk from outside sources

especially inorganic sources as this type of agriculture allows this to go

on. They say in the UK these "heavy metals" are at acceptible levels, but

those levels are not acceptible in Organic agriculture.

However, having said that I have just heard from one of the directors of the

countries largest waste management firms that all sewage that is processed

for farming in the UK is singled out from sewage systems that do not come

from major city interiors like that of Birmingham for example. Then the

carefully monitored effluent is made suitable (part processed and

stabilized) for distribution to farmers for injecting into the top soil or

better still for composting.
