I open windows, even in the winter!  You need cross ventilation to get
rid of those fumes.  I also place a large fan in the window blowing
outward to bring in fresh air and push out the fumes.

I suspect that the fumes are very dangerous. If you can't work in safe
conditions, don't take thata job.  Your health is the top priority!!!!!
