Any chemical, dust or mist you breathe is dangerous. Mostly because we no know way more than we did in years past. That goes for absorption thru the skin as well.

Our training card, go to topic, is asbestos. Once upon a time it was the greatest thing in industry. Its uses were limitless. It has been proven that its makers knew of the dangers, not to the effect we see today, but they identified issues. The kicker is that the general public did not know until thousands upon thousands died.

Urethane paint, just like any other chemical, may very well be the next asbestos.

So like you suggested wear the proper PPE. Read the label and do what it says and if you go above and beyond, all the more better.

Not trying to be the grim reaper. My Pops worked with asbestos in the 50's and 60's. My father-in-law worked in a mine for years. They both died horrible deaths from pretty much trying to make a living.

I end my training sessions with "I will get down off my high horse if you will wear proper PPE".

Maybe more than you asked, but I consider them all hazardous to my health.
