Corner of Tab Mercury Vapors on Video Corner of Tab Highlights

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality website has two videos (viewable on your computer) of mercury evaporation at room temperature. One of a broken thermometer on carpet; the other of liquid mercury in an open dish. These were filmed at Bowling Green University using a UV light and fluorescent background, which makes the evaporating mercury visible. 
Check them out at: http://www.michigan.gov
