to trap any dust and dirt. the nose hair is also referred to "cilia." also, mucus traps dust and durt. the mucus in the nose dries, now what is called "boogers." sometimes the wet mucus travels to your stomach where it is digested and turned to waste. mucus also leaves the body when you clean your nose, blow it, or sneeze.
