how is it safe to grow produce alongside busy freeways?

There are lots of farms right next to the freeways and highways in the US. Wouldn’t lead and other debris from traffic contaminate the soil over time making the produce unsafe?

Somewhere on Cody’sLab he collects dust from the side of the highway. He was able to condense about 2kg of dust down to 10-20g of palladium from catalytic converts. You REALLY don’t want to grow anything near a highway.

Or at the very minimum plant a row of sunflowers as the boundary, they are good at soaking up heavy metals and make a good wind barrier for the garden.
