Well, normally you sneeze (too much) either because the room is too dusty, or because you have a mild allergy to something in that room.
Does the room look dusty? If you don't wipe a horizontal surface, how much dust would accumulate in, say, a week?
The allergy thing is more complicated, but one way to test it would be to take some OTC anti-hystamine and see if that stops your sneezing. If it does you should update towards being allergic to something in that room.
The room is somewhat dusty. Dust accumulates visibly on my desk after something like 4 days, I think.
