That depends on your source.  If your are using new sea salt from the mediteranian (Celtic, etc.) then it might be an issue.  If you are using sea salt from old salt beds, like RealSalt which dates back to the Jurassic period, then current pollution isn't an issue.

FYI, from the wikipedia entry: "Although the salinity of sea water varies quite a bit worldwide, the relative abundances of the constituent ions remain the same."
