Chemicals leaching from pressure-treated lumber?

We're putting in a small vineyard and I've used
2"x2"x8' pressure-treated wooden posts for the vertical
support stakes for the grape vines. A co-worker just
mentioned the possibility of chemicals from the wood
leaching into the soil, and eventually ending up in the
grapes we eat or the wine we make. I hadn't thought
about this. Is this a concern? Should I replace these
with galvanized pipe as he recommended?

Thanks in advance for any info!
