Presumably that's 5ppm under terrestrial conditions, Venus at 40km has substantially higher pressure, more than is explained by the higher temperature alone, so any given ppm is a greater number of molecules per cm³, right?

Which as far as I can tell isn't terrible if you don't breath it in and if you do the official allowed exposure time is 10 minutes for 5 ppm. I would recommend you wear goggles in addition to breathing equipment, though.
