Question

In my room, there are extremely tiny metallic particles that are only visible when light hits them, anyone?

Answer 1

We have that around here! over here it's caused by either this incinerator, or a pigment paint plant. It's basically air pollution.

are you living near any factories or industries? that might be the cause

Answer 2

Glitter.

Or it could be silica particles.  Do you live near a sandy type soil?  Get a magnet and see if they are actually metel.  It'll help you pick them up to see them better too.

Answer 3

metallic as in real metal? no jk nyway I used to look at those as a kid, those I learned was just dust, dust mites, stuff in the air etc, ny who you can still view them sometimes without light just when light hits them it's alot easir to see because they are so tiny in dark spaces they just kind of blend in with all the rest since they are almost completely see through...otherwise...in the light they are exposed

Answer 4

I think you are imaging things and it's just dust, plain dirty dust.

Answer 5

It could be many things. But the best thing to do is use a better grade of filter in your heating and AC system, because most of these things are not good for you. It could be like smoking several packs of cigarettes per day.
