Answer to Question 1

The combustion products contain only half as much water as combustion products from a gas furnace. So the dew point of the combustion gasses in an oil furnace is lower than in a gas furnace.

Answer to Question 2

The venting materials for Categories II and III are costly.

The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
