How much mercury is lethal?

The lethal dose of mercury depends on the form of mercury and the method of exposure. Inorganic mercury can be lethal in doses as low as 1 gram, while organic mercury compounds like methylmercury are toxic in much smaller doses. Acute exposure to high levels of elemental mercury vapor can also be lethal.


Is the Mercury in a thermometer considered a mineral?
