Wow. This guy is absolutely crazy because liquid mercury dissolves in air and it is very easy to get mercury poisoning this way from not too much exposure. He's standing by a vat of mercury!

Aslong as the room is adequatly ventilated and he isn't exposed to for too long, he will be fine. Plus you don't know what temperature the room is. At room temperature, yes there may be vapours but the room could be chilled to close to below 0C where there would be less vapour in the room.
