What causes an air conditioner filter to become dirty?

Jane asked:


Hi everyone,

My split system air conditioner began to link while cooling a room at 20 degrees celsius, so, I cleaned the filter (it had been about 6 months) and it was filthy!! What would cause an air conditioner filter to become so dirty? It is an indoors unit of course.

The leaking has now stopped. However, would the leaking water from the air conditioner or the dirty filters cause any health issues or any kind?

Thank you!
