What happends if your lungs stop working (involuntary muscles) and you have to breath on your own for 10 minutes? Is there a filter in lungs?

What happends if your lungs stop working (involuntary muscles) and you have to breath on your own for 10 minutes? Do our lungs get polluted? Is the oxygen not filtered out?

Update:

Mike G, but then you breath on your own. I've done this in the past. The involuntary muscles shut down and i had to voluntarily breath on my own. So, now what do you think about the non filtered oxygen that entered my lungs. Is it dangerous? etc.
