The structure that you find in the nose which filters the air is called cilia. These tiny, hair-like projections help to catch dust and other foreign particles so that they do not reach the respiratory system.

Nose hair filters air that is passing through the nose, for example, dust particles in the air.
It filters, humidifies and warms passing air
The Nostrils or the Nose.
It filters the air for respiration.
It heats it, humidifies it and filters it.
Nose
That would be the nose. It warms, filters, and humidifies room air. Its our built in heat and moisture reclaimer.
Within the nasal cavity are epithelial lined boney projections called conchae or turbinates. These structure heat and humidify the air that is drawn into the lungs as well as creating tubulance all of which make the air cause less damage to the respiratory tract.
The nose warms and filters air headed for the lungs.
Think about it either nose or mouth and the mouth has no means of filtration
Most breathing in healthy humans occurs through the nose. As air enters the nasal cavity, it is filtered of large debris by hairs lining the inside of the nose, and then further filtered through the nasal conchae, an area of folded, moist tissues; this also warms the air to near body temperature when it is cold.
