[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 56402, member: 337"] PAHs in soil are "stuck" or sorbed to the soil pretty tightly. In other words if you wash the soil off you get 99% of the PAHs off because they are stuck to the soil like bugs on a windshield. When you eat dirt (toddler) then your digestive system can get them off and into your bloodstream. Actual creosote is the only things I'd get too worked up about - the oily stuff. That stuff is HIGHLY concentrated in PAHs (thousands or millions more than veggies or soil) - enough that I'd want gloves/pants on and not let creosote get directly onto your skin. Compared to smoking and eating BBQ every night this (railroad ties in my garden) stuff is pretty trivial IMO - but why take your chances - don't get creosote on you and don't eat the dirt. I'd not worry about the veggies themselves though. [/QUOTE]
