No: Nothing of any significance would be a risk for your fetus due to the cited material. If you are truly concerned about the risks faced in your pregnancy I would meet with a clinical genetacist (med school or children's hospital) to explore both family histories/medical risks etc.

Paint exposure: It is normal to be concerned about anything your unborn baby has come in contact with. It is normal to be protective over this new life. Exposure to closed containers of paint should not be an issue. Please bring your concerns to your next exam with your obstetrician and ask him/her what you should be worried about in your vicinity.
