Is Smoke Harmful During Pregnancy?

Yesterday there was a big roof fire in a building next to my office (c. 100 yards away). We didn't open any windows, and the air condition was shut down but we could still smell some smoke in the office. After a couple of hours I requested to leave work and work from home as I am 29 weeks pregnant. My throat is a little scratchy, but I didn't have to cough or anything like that. Should I be worried?
