"The nose’s normal function is to filter impurities from the air and moisten and warm up the air so that clean, moist, warm air gets to the lungs," , an otolaryngology partner at ENT and Allergy Associates, says."When the air is so impure, the functionality of the nose as the first-line filter gets greatly reduced. If you breathe in through your mouth because your nose is irritated, the filtering and warming/moistening activities do not work.
"Anything that irritates as it passes your larynx, or voice box, to get to your lungs will cause you to cough or clear the throat, which can itself cause further irritation in that area—causing hoarseness or breathiness, including an inability to complete a sentence in one breath."

They keep the air moist, which makes small particles in the air get heavy and fall down so you don’t breathe them in.When the air quality is poor your skin can get dry and lead to mouth breathing, which leads us to lose more fluids.
