Lastly, I'm not so sure I'd want to drink rainwater collected from rooves in
urban areas. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a bit of airborne
pollution around urban centers that would fall as rain?

You're only wrong in that it's hardly just an urban phenomena. There are significant toxics in most rain water, my advise is to allow the first of the rain to wash the roof off and drink the later stuff. Eat well and welcome the challenge of a bit o poison, can't really avoid it any how....
