Emphysema, a type of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), occurs when the walls of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs are damaged, becoming less elastic and, therefore, less able to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Smoking Cessation: If the emphysema has been caused by smoking, the person must quit to prevent further damage. 2  Bronchodilator Drugs: These drugs, which are taken either orally or with an inhaler, help to relax and open air passages or reduce inflammation and swelling.
A liquid at high pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. For a given pressure, different liquids boil at different temperatures. For example, water boils at 100 Â°C (212 Â°F) at sea level, but at 93.4 Â°C (200.1 Â°F) at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) altitude.
Sea Level: Water boils at 212 degrees F. and simmers at 190 degrees F. Tepid Water â 85 to 105 degrees F. â The water is comparable to the temperature of the human body. Warm Water â 115 to 120 degrees F. â The water is touchable but not hot. Hot Water â 130 to 135 degrees F. â The water is too hot to touch without injury. Poach â 160 to 180 degrees F. â The water is beginning to move, to shiver. Simmer â 185 to 200 degrees F. â There is movement, and little bubbles appear in the water. Slow Boil â 205 degrees F. â There is more movement and noticeably larger bubbles.
