Yes there could be too much dust around you. But it's more likely that your not blinking enough. I read a while back that people who stare at a computer screen all day some how train themselves to blink less.

So try turning down the brightness on your computer so you squint less and you will blink more keeping your eyes moist and happy.
Good Luck!

Speaking from Experience Straining your eyes for long periods of time starring at the Screen can cause your eyes to be red and itch,Red eyes are caused by enlarged, dilated blood vessels leading to the appearance of redness on the surface of the eye. There are many possible causes of a red eye or eyes.

Human eyes react differently to LCD screens at different times of the day, while the sun is usually very visible and helpful during the day at night the eyes become tired and our visible light spectrum changes rapidly.
This can cause eyes to become tired faster as well as watery or the opposite red and dry.
A very small light and neat program I have found to combat this problem that works on any platform (even linux and mac) is called (f.lux) (xflux on linux). It very slowly adjusts your screens hue with the different time change in your set zipcode.
You can get more information as well as download the program from its main site. http://stereopsis.com/flux/
While it takes a little getting used to.
It has been an invaluable tool in my fight against tired eyes.
Another idea to help prevent tired, watery, or dry eyes is to lower the brightness of your screen just a tad.
You will also be conserving power and helping the environment at the same token.

Dust is a possibility but there could be other factors. If it's an LCD Screen then the cause is Less Blinking of your Eye which causes less Lubrication of eye and creates a Red Eye.
If it's a CRT Screen then the screen produces a Glare which causes eye strain and so it creates Red Eye.
Use an Anti-Glare Filter or Eye Glass if Required.

Is there a test I could run to figure out what's causing it? I think if I sat at my desk for 1 hour reading a book with my monitor off, and my eyes still turned red, that would probably prove it was dust. Or would it?
Thats a good idea to test and rule out the cause. Try it.
