You mean that high. 0.005 mm mercury sounds about right for body temperature, but the 10 or so sounds very high. I am not sure what it means by "10-8". The boiling point of mercury is much higher, 356 degrees C, which is the temperature where the vapor pressure of mercury is equal to the air pressure of about 760 mm mercury. The temperature for a VP of 1 mm Hg for mercury is 126 C. For mercury at 50 C the vapor pressure is .002 kPa (.0015 mm Hg). For comparison the vapor pressure of water at 25 degrees is 3.17 kPa (2.38 mm Hg) and at 50 C is 12.3 kPa (9.23 mm Hg). Thus a rough estimate of the evaporation rate of mercury at 50 C would be .002/12.3 = .00016 or 1/6350th the rate of water at that temperature. > > > It is know that metallic Hg is non-toxic in the body; you can drink small > amounts without harm.

That is why they can put mercury in a thermometer. But mercury vapor is easily abosrbed, and very toxic.
