If it happens to fall on you it might be a little unpleasant and give you an itch but you're not going to breath it in.
There is some evidence to suggest that exposure to airborne chaff could cause dermal irritation; however, it is unlikely that concentrations of airborne chaff at ground level would ever reach the level needed to bring about this effect.

Please post information from the research you have found that "it might be a little unpleasant and give you an itch but you're not going to breath it in".
You have some evidence to back up your claims right?
Upon release from an aircraft, chaff forms a cloud approximately 30 meters in diameter in less than one second under normal conditions.
