Boiling Point |
||||||
|
Boiling point is the temperature at which liquid changes to a vapor, or the
temperature when the pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. The opposite
change in phase is the condensation point. A major consideration with toxic substances is how they enter the body. With high-boiling-point liquids, the most common entry is by body contact (skin absorption). Low-boiling-point liquids are most commonly inhaled. |
