You failed to state your assumptions...

Yup, I did. But the emergency people will look at the low exposure limit and go bananas.
The OSHA number is not a TLV, it's a max. There is no TWA attached to it.

In accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) standard for air contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000), employee exposure to airborne mercury or its inorganic compounds shall not exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average limit of 1 mg/10 M3 (0.1 mg/M3) or a limit set by a state agency whenever a state-administered Occupational Safety and Health Plan is in effect. It should be emphasized that the permissible exposure limit is a time-weighted average.

Whatever.
