Default Roofing Dust, including from old cedar shingles on herp garden

I just had a rental house re-roofed, and the tenants herb garden is
covered with a lot of dust from the job. Parsley, mint, etc. The roofer
said don't use the cedar shingles to start fires, because they used
arsenic on them for fireproofing, which I had never heard of. Now I'm
wondering if that garden is safe to use again. Has anyone ever
considered this problem and how to recover from it?

The roof was cedar shingles and 2 layers of composition, so lotsa of
dust from both.


shop vaccuum it up?
