5.1.4 Exposure calculations<br />

5.1.4.1 Scenario 1: Short-term exposure for 30 minutes<br />

As described above the short-term exposure is calculated with and without<br />

ventilation.<br />

A calculation using the assumption of no ventilation is the worst case and a<br />

fictive calculation, since there will always be some leaks in a house.<br />

The calculation of the concentration in the breathing zone during an accident<br />

with a broken compact fluorescent lamp or straight fluorescent lamp is done<br />

by dividing the quantity of mercury released from the lamp by 2 m 3 , which is<br />

the volume chosen for the breathing zone. The quantity of mercury released is<br />

calculated as 10 % of the total amount of mercury in the lamp (i.e. 1.2 to 40<br />

mg). The results are shown in Table 5-2 below.<br />

Table 5-2 Calculated concentrations in the breathing zone of mercury with a broken compact fluorescent<br />

lamp/straight fluorescent lamp in a room when it is assumed that only 10 % of total quantity of mercury will<br />

evaporate during the first few hours. The meaning of the green cells is discussed later.<br />
