I can empathize; I work in a very dusty office and my allergies are going nuts! I'm thinking we've gotta clean in here soon or I won't be able to stand it anymore. But still, that's nowhere near as bad as the situation you're describing (and at least we have some control over it). If the smell is so bad you can't breathe, that's definitely affecting your work! I think your supervisor and/or HR department should know about this and that you are thinking of quitting because of it. Perhaps they could move your office, or install an air purifier or something. If they don't take action, I think finding another job would be the best thing for your own health's sake.
BTW, I also think that if the smell is so bad, it's starting to draw rats, it's a real sanitation issue. Someone needs to speak up.
