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.
