Very useful info for lung recipients:

http://www.everydayhealth.com/health-report/congestion-relief/mucus-and-phlegm.aspx

“Mucus is like a gelatin, a sticky substance the function of which is to lubricate and also to filter,”. Mucus acts as a filter of the air you breathe by catching dirt and debris as you inhale it, protecting your lungs.
