Elemental (metallic) mercury is a heavy, silvery metal element that is a liquid at room temperature. Liquid mercury evaporates at room temperature and its vapors are invisible, odorless and, at high levels, very toxic. Metallic mercury is often found in thermometers, barometers, manometers, electrical switches and thermostats. In some cases even small spills can cause high levels of mercury vapors that are unsafe to breathe.
