Why does a freshly polished glass table quickly become covered in dust?

A freshly polished glass table becomes quickly covered in dust due to static electricity and air currents. The polishing process can create a slight static charge on the glass surface, attracting dust particles from the surrounding environment. Additionally, normal air movement in a room, such as from people walking by or ventilation systems, can stir up dust, causing it to settle on the polished surface. Dust is ubiquitous, and even small disturbances can lead to its accumulation on smooth surfaces like glass.
