Open Question: Work above my apartment, how will it affect me?

I live in NYC in a 9th-story apartment building, in the 8th floor. Above me, in the 9th floor unit, contractors are about to renovate the entire unit, especially the bathroom. This was found to have a leaking window frame that, during recently strong rains, seeped water that damaged my own bathroom. Contractors installed a new ceiling in my own bathroom last week, apparently plywood-reinforced, in addition to the existing concrete ceiling to protect my bathroom during the renovations. They reassure me I will not be inconvenienced, besides noise and bumps. Questions are: is there any way in which the work above will affect me negatively (besides noise)? I am especifically worried about fumes, dust, or any particulates that could hinder my health. Can dust, etc., seep through the heater pipes (assuming these are not perfectly sealed between floors?)? Please answer the above question one-by-one, with special interest given to answers from people with actual experience or contractors. (Don't fake you know if you don't, please). Also, I didn't occupy my unit while the ceiling was installed, and after three days of running an internal fan and having windows open, the unit still smells slightly of plaster and semi-gloss paint. Is this a hazard? Or are slight smells ok? How will I know if I am being affected negatively? What are the symptoms? Thanks much.

Open Question: Is there such thing as water resistant (doesn't soak up water) wall to wall carpeting?

Any suggestions you have will be appreciated. Am thinking about the water from ppl's shoes and from dripping umbrellas.Thanks. OK, ppl can wipe their feet on a throw rug, but when they walk down the hall, the umbrella keeps dripping on the carpeting. I don't want to put a runner or throw rug in the hallway.

Open Question: Be Honest do you like my idea for a bedroom??????

Ok, I'm 12 almost 13. And my parents said I can re-do my room. I'm going to have light tan walls, the color of a spring fawn. I am getting a small plasma screen. Two or three bean bag chair, to sit in and relax. (Three because I have lots of friends over.) A largish dish chair. BTW- I have a huge room. I am sticking with my twin bed. My bed spread will be Navy Blue Doka-Dots. I'm buying lots of pillows, for comfort. BTW- I'm a girl. Chair I'm getting. http://www.pbteen.com/products/navy-hang-a-round-chair/?pkey=cfurniture-all Bean-Bags I'm getting. http://www.pbteen.com/products/furlicious-beanbag/?pkey=cfurniture-all Lighting. http://www.pbteen.com/products/round-paper-lanterns/?pkey=cchandeliers-pendant-lighting And other stuff I'm getting. http://www.pbteen.com/products/bubble-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-bedding-all Above is the bedding I'm getting. But In navy blue. Any other things you thing would be great, please add links, pics, ect... P.S. I'm not a girly girl, live on a farm, and have live turtles, and guinea pigs in my room right now. And I want to stick to Light Brown and Navy blue, due to that being the color of most my furniture. FYI I'm not into that whole Zebra Stripe thing. I don't want something origanal. I think of everyone as very unique. And I want my room to be as unique as me. I don't want something origanal. I think of everyone as very unique. And I want my room to be as unique as me.
