Should one be concerned about asbestos when sanding old paint from deck

We have a deck that needs to be repainted and some areas have chipped paint that needs to be sanded. The house was built in 1993 (US), and I wonder if asbestos is a concern. I have not seen people worry about asbestos in deck paint, but I heard that talc is often used as a filler and asbestos often coexists with talc so I wonder if this is a concern?

Thoughts?

Thanks
