Thanks for all the replies and advice :-)

Unfortunatley we don't have a back yard: apartment terrace 4 floors up
overlooking a main road. It's a lovely spot, the traffic pollution is the
only worry. The noise is actually okay, but less would always be better.

I've come across a lot of info on people planting veggie gardens in the
inner city, but not much yet on the health side so I'll do a bit of
research into it.

I know that Michael Mobbs and his family use rainwater from his roof... in
Chippendale. They have had it tested and it is fine.
