∙ 11y agoWhen we smell we 'breath' in different kinds of molecules. Throughout certain parts of the day one nostril is better and can 'smell' faster and better than the other. This changes all of the time. The reason for this is because some molecules need to be smelt or inhaled slowly and other need to be smelt or inhaled quickly.

∙ 14y agoPeople have small hairs in their nasal cavity called cilia, which trap dirt particles which are breathed in. The dirt is then wafted to the back of the throat, where it's swallowed.
It is an evolutionary feature, because if you spend decades living in the country, you will have relatively few hairs in your nose, becasue the air has fewer pollutant particles compared to the urban atmosphere.
