No, problem: Air pollution is problematic when it occurs over a long time period. While your experience has produced some irritation, the body is cleansing itself, which is why your symptoms continue. If this was a 1 time event, you will be fine. If you know exposure to pollution will occur, wear appropriate masks/goggles to protect from irritation or injury. Good luck
