Yes. Usually the reason for carbon tracks, other than the fact of a poor design (creepage not sufficient) is the dirt. Clean surface and air are resistant to breakdowns but dirt is less so, so eventually there will be that first spark.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
