Actually, air is not cleaned before reaching the lungs. That is why severe lung damage is caused by living in highly polluted areas and smoking. In fact, air is breathed into the lungs, and transported through your circulatory system by way of red blood cells. It is finally cleaned when blood is pumped through the kidneys
