The term for the total amount of exchangeable air in the lungs is called the total lung capacity. It includes the sum of all lung volumes, including tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. Total lung capacity provides insight into how much air the lungs can hold.

The term for the amount of moisture in the air is humidity. It is typically expressed as a percentage, with higher values indicating more moisture in the air.
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
Relative humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the saturation vapour pressure of water at the same temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure. Very roughly speaking, it is a ratio of the amount of water vapour in the air compared to the total amount of water vapour that it possible for that air to contain.
The amount of water vapor that air can hold depends on its temperature. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. This relationship is described by the concept of relative humidity, which is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature.

The lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air is the vital capacity. It is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest possible inhalation.
Vital capacity. It is around 4800ml in healthy young men.

ERV does not include tidal volume which is the typical amount of air coming in and out of your lungs with each breath. (approx 500ml) ERV is the amount of air evacuated out of your lungs after tidal expiration. (approx 1200ml) Vital Capacity is the total amount of exchangeable air or the sum of TV, ERV, and IRV. IRV is inspiratory reserve volume or the amount of air you can inspire forcibly beyond the tidal volume (approx 2100- 3200ml).
The air that can not be exhaled is called residual volume.TV = the amount of air displaced during normal breathing.IRV = The amount of air that can be taken in forcibly beyond tidal volumeErv= The amount of that can be expelled forcibly.Vital capacity = the total amount of exchangeable air.Total Lung capacity = TV + IRV + ERV + RESIDUAL VOLUME
Humidity is the term used to measure the amount of moisture in the air.
The term for the amount of water in the atmosphere is humidity. Humidity is typically measured as either relative humidity, which is the percentage of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature, or absolute humidity, which is the actual amount of water vapor present in the air.

The medical term for the amount of air inspired and expired during normal breathing is tidal volume.
The term that defines this is relative humidity. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that the air could hold at that specific temperature.
