Pölyttävien

Pölyttävien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of the active present participle pölyttävä, meaning “dust-producing” or “dust-generating.” The term is used to describe substances or processes that create dust. In scientific, industrial, and regulatory contexts it appears primarily as part of larger noun phrases, rather than as a stand-alone word.

As a genitive plural form, pölyttävien agrees with a following noun in genitive plural and serves to modify that noun. Typical constructions include phrases like pölyttävien aineiden pitoisuudet (the concentrations of dust-producing substances) or pölyttävien aineiden päästöjä (emissions from dust-producing substances). The form is common in environmental health, occupational safety, and material science texts where precise description of dust-generating materials is required.

Usage notes: pölyttävien is not a noun by itself; it is an attributive participle used to characterize nouns. The base adjective is pölyttävä (dust-producing). Other related forms include pölyttäväni (my dust-producing?) in different cases and pölyttävät (they dust) in the nominative plural, but pölyttävien specifically marks genitive plural in noun phrases. Examples demonstrate how it functions in translated meanings such as “the emissions of dust-producing substances” or “measurements of dust-producing materials.” This form helps convey the potential for dust generation in technical descriptions and safety regulations.
