The Indian Red Scorpion has been said to be the most lethal in the world. This tiny scorpion does pack a huge punch. When stung, victims typically experience nausea, heart problems, discoloration of the skin, and, in more severe cases, pulmonary edema, an accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
Temperatures at the point of use over 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) are considered a hazard. Without further temperature controlling downstream of the outlet of the water. heater, the potential to experience dangerous scalding water temperatures at the point of use increases. greatly.
Conventionally, the water temperature at which water boils is considered to be 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degress Fahrenheit. However, these numbers are only valid at sea level. As barometric pressure changes so too does the boiling point of water. For instance, as elevation increases the boiling point lowers. On the top of Mount Everest, for example, boiling water is possible at a water temperature of 68 degrees Celsius or 154 degrees Fahrenheit. Conversely, in deep ocean vents, water can be much hotter than that without boiling.
