B. Saunas can NOT exceed 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and steam rooms can NOT exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Saunas can NOT exceed 195 degrees Fahrenheit, and steam rooms can NOT exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Traditional dry saunas should not exceed 195 degrees Fahrenheit while steam rooms should not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Saunas often have unpainted, wood interiors and temperature controls. The temperatures for saunas and steam rooms vary, but there are generally accepted averages for safe usage.
In contrast, steam rooms, which operate at 100% humidity, should not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). These temperatures are set to ensure the safety and comfort of the users. Exceeding these temperatures could lead to overheating and health complications.
It's important to adhere to these temperature guidelines to prevent any risks while enjoying the benefits of saunas and steam rooms.
