Suggest Treatment For Accidental Inhalation Of Plastic Fumes

Hello, I am pregnant (7 weeks) and I work in a company with molding injection machines (they make plastic zippers). Can be these plastic fumes harmful for a baby? When I asked my colleague he said that all room is well ventilated but honestly, you can feel a strong plastic odour still. It is a good place to work in but I am so scared about inhaling plastic fumes and harm my baby..what do you think?
