Whichever way you mean this question, the answer is an emphatic "yes".

-- The vapor of the element Mercury, when excited by an electric current,

is a potent source of ultraviolet radiation.

-- The sunward side of the planet Mercury, closest planet to the sun and

without an atmosphere, is bathed in ultraviolet radiation from the sun far

more intense than the level of UV radiation at the Earth's surface.
