Mucus and cilia. The dirt and other impurities that enter the respiratory tract are trapped by the mucus, in order not to enter the lungs and its structures. But the accumulation of too much mucus in the trachea would impede us from breathing, so the cilia sweep the mucus out of the trachea.
What are the benefits of booger?
Boogers don't really have any benefits. Boogers are the results of the benefits of snot (mucus) in your nose. Dust particles get trapped in the moist mucus, dry and become boogers.

Without mucus (and boogers) you would have more dirt (and other particulates) in your lungs and be at higher risk of infection and other diseases.
