It's not good for you or your animals, but if you don't have anywhere to evacuate to, you probably don't have a choice but to put up with it. You may want to consider locking them in the coop and covering any ventilation with wet towels to help reduce particulates coming in, but depending on your set up that might not be possible/practical.
