Microplastics are plastic fragments that measure less than 5mm in diameter and are invisible to the naked eye.
Previous studies have linked the tiny fragments with toxic impacts on the body, such as cancer.
University of Toronto researchers say paint has been 'severely understudied' in microplastics research.
Paints are used across a huge variety of indoor and outdoor applications, ranging from road markings to ships.
