The cells in the nose and throat that trap dust particles are called cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help to sweep foreign particles, such as dust, towards the throat to be expelled from the body.
They are actually small hairs called Cilia. Not cells.
A single dust particle is called a "speck" or "particle."

Mucus and dust are two things that are trapped and swallowed at the back of the throat by cilia cells.
