Cardboard isn't entirely clean, but it's less contaminating than this, so lining the interior of the bed with broken down boxes (stripped of tape) before filling can help. The bulk of the contaminants will end up running off into the surrounding soil as the cardboard breaks down.
Better still, use untreated wood and put a segment of wood over the concrete on each corner... but untreated wood will frequently rot in 4-5 years.

Might wanna update your info. Treated lumber practices have changed since it's been popular to use the wood in raised beds and the toxic chemicals are no longer used to treat the wood. Also cedar is a great untreated wood that will typically last much longer. Roughly around 15 to 20 years plus because it's naturally rot and pest resistant.
Woops. Yea. Your raised beds. How many bricks/boards did you use per side?
Oof, rough typo.

That all said, I've gotten a number of years out of standard untreated construction lumber before it degraded in ground contact situations. And as someone else mentioned, cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant, and cedar fence pickets are a fairly cheap alternative I e used before with some success. These days I trust the experts and use treated though, since the current stuff has been on the market for a while without any significant danger coming to light.
They're awesome. When you need to swap out the wood, it's easy. Pin them with a piece of rebar. Everything grows great in them.
