like this, i copied and pasted it from an artical on mercury......
First heres the link...... http://www.webelements.com/mercury/
and here the line from it.......
As mercury is a very volatile element, dangerous levels are readily attained in air. Mercury vapour should not exceed 0.1 mg m-3 in air. Air saturated with the vapour at 20°C contains mercury in a concentration far greater than that limit. The danger increases at higher temperatures. It is therefore important that mercury be handled with care. Containers of mercury should be securely covered and spillage should be avoided. Mercury should only be handled under in a well-ventilated area. If you are in possession of any mercury you are advised to contact a properly qualified chemist or public health laboratory for its safe disposal.
So, i dont know why everybody is saying that its ok to be around, but it does say its ok in a well ventilated area.
Sorry for the wall of text=)
