Yes Chris, you are obviously right. However I did not include that possibility since apparently the new CARC is not as bad as the old CARC, and stocks of the old CARC should be long gone. At this time, in the military, the primary hazard would seem to be in the way the paint is removed from the equipment painted with the old stuff. Burning the paint off would be not recommended. This especially comes into play if one was cutting a vehicle coated in CARC. I recently had to cut some welds on a static vehicle. Fortunately it was outdoors and there was a nice breeze to my back so I did not have to take any precautions beyond the norm.
When I was working in Afghanistan, there was a section of guys with the company I was with who only did mods to the vehicles. They had been given no special instructions about the CARC paint which I was a little surprised about. They were constantly grinding and cutting into the hulls. As contractors, there would be no follow up as to the health effects.
