during the inhalation of air to the lungs. it goes through your nose, which has hairs that trap the dust and other particles. from there if the irritants are still in your body system they will be stuck to the mucus in your pharynx and trachea.

the body releases these irritants by a sneeze, or a cough.

but if the irritants can get past the first two defenses, the white blood cells in your lungs can attack those irritants.

Is the major function of your nose is cleaning the air you breathe?

No, the major function of the nose is to warm, humidify, and filter the air we breathe before it reaches the lungs. The tiny hairs in the nose help trap particles and prevent them from entering the respiratory system. Cleaning the air is a secondary function of the respiratory system as a whole.
