Mercury vs. Omega-3s for Brain Development (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercu...) is the study about balancing risks and benefits.
I explored how long it takes to get rid of some of the other pollutants in How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-f...) PCBS are found most concentrated in fish and eggs (Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-...), which may be why there're lower levels of Industrial Pollutants in Vegans (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/indus...). I wonder if this helps explain the remarkable findings in Eggs and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-...).
The fact that we can still find DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/ddt-i...) decades after the pesticide was banned speaks to the persistence of some pollutants. There's a shortcut for moms, but it's The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-w...).
