Adult humans have hairs in the anterior nasal passage. These hairs act as a fibrous filter for inhaled particles. Diffusion of ultra fine particles to the nasal hair occurs mostly for particles < 5 nm. Nasal hair has important implications for your health because certain medications may be administered through the nasal cavities and also because a lack of nasal hair could invite the transport of potentially harmful particles into the respiratory system
