Sealant on New Doors Overpowering Fumes

Just had my front and back door replaced with composite doors and the fumes coming off the sealant (I think) is super whiffy. How do I not inhale these "gases", it really is toxic? I'm worried that my lungs will be detrimentally affected. They fitters took 3 hours to complete the job 9 hours ago and the smell hasn't dissipated at all. I can't leave the doors open to let the fresh air in as I'm on a main busy main road and the back door to the garden wouldn't be secure. Unfortunately, I leave the house tomorrow for work so will have no chance to do anything about this. What can you suggest I do when I get back?

When we have had doors/windows put in we've had the same from the sealant. It dissipated in a day or two. It isn't a nice smell, though, I agree.
