Kostuttavan is a Finnish word that translates to "moistening" or "humidifying" in English. It is derived from the verb "kostuttaa," which means to make something moist or damp. The word can be used in various contexts to describe the act of adding moisture to something.

In the context of air quality, "kostuttavan" refers to the process of increasing the humidity level in a room or building. This can be achieved through devices such as humidifiers. Maintaining appropriate humidity levels is important for health and comfort, as excessively dry air can lead to respiratory problems, dry skin, and static electricity.

The term can also be applied to other situations where moisture is added. For example, in cooking, "kostuttavan" might describe adding liquid to a dish to keep it from drying out during the cooking process. In gardening, it could refer to watering plants to keep the soil moist. The specific meaning is generally clear from the surrounding context.
