Hi,
I think your brother is prone for Hyper reactive Airway Disease. So whenever there is dust then he would have severe sneeze and this could damage the mucosal layer and cause a bleeding and then a heavy bout of cough. At a temporary note you can ask him to cover his nose and to a large extent avoid this from happening. But definitely get back to your doctor if this is happening for long now.
Take care
