The we adhere to is that avoiding ritual impurity (najasa) is conditional upon knowledge and ability. Therefore, your prayer is valid due to your ignorance of the impurity's presence. Nothing is required of you for the doubt mentioned, because the default is the absence of impurity. If your prayer is valid, then there is no problem with the validity of the prayer of those who prayed behind you.
