Wildfire smoke and linen

Hi all, I recently got into purchasing 100% linen clothing and have fallen in love with it, it’s perfect for the summer heat! However, I live in Oregon and am worried about stepping outside in my linen clothing and having the current wildfire smoke damage them since it’s so porous. I’m located about 120ish miles away from the nearest severe fire but the smoke has definitely carried at settled in the air. The AQI is currently in the 90s where I’m at which is not terrible but not great. Should I avoid wearing my linens outside or am I a safe enough distance/AQI to where they wouldn’t be affected? I don’t want to risk damaging them
