I think the dust in air is neither a colloid, a suspension nor a solution.
REASONS:
1. You can not say that it is a colloid because the common characteristic of a colloid is sticky like lotions and gels;
2. You can not say that it is a suspension because if it is, we should be able to identify easily the solid particles in the air which is the dust;
3. You can not say that it is a solution because it should form only liquid phase as result.
Though I don't think is it is a colloid, a suspension, or a solution, I am sure that it is MIXTURE.
