HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Not classified	-	-	-	-	SPECIES: ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: >10g/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: SAX (4th, 2001)
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Insufficient data available
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (lung, skeletal system, gastrointestinal tract)		Danger	H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (lung, skeletal system, gastrointestinal tract)	P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	"The indium and its compound are set up TLV-TWA owing to the influence to the skelton and gastrointestinal system and the hazardous property especially by the inhalation to lungs (ACGIH (2001))", "There is a case report of the pulmonary fibrosis by the indium tin oxide of two examples to human." (J Occup Health (2003) and Eur Respr J. (2005)", "An indium tin oxide consists of indium oxides and tinoxide"(J Occup Health (2003)", and "Since an indium tin oxide has High a indium content (indium 74%, 8% of tin), the major cause of the observed lung toxicity is indium probably (Eur Respr J. (2005))". Based on these results it was classified into Category 1 (lungs, skeleton,digestive tracts) due to these results. [special notes] Since indium was recorded as indium and its compound by ACGIH and also industrial safety and health laws, indium oxide was evaluated and classified as an indium analogue.
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
