Often not directly — the source is at the neighbours'. You can file a complaint via the municipality or GGD, but that's a slow process. In the meantime, active air purification can help reduce the amount of airborne particles indoors.
Ventilating refreshes the air, but if outdoor air contains smoke at that moment, pollution can also come in. Air purification can additionally help reduce airborne particles indoors; how well it works varies by technique and model.
