I don't recall it being this bad. Nor at Skate America in 2000
There was the recent incident with the Karen Magnussen's rink, where people were severely affected by fumes. And a relatively recent study about skaters' lungs being permanently damaged from bad air at ice rinks.
Sometimes the the zamboni is at fault if it is not an electric model, sometimes the icemaking compresser is misbehaving. They should do an air quality check.
