**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause cardiac
disturbances. The toxicological properties of this substance have not
been fully investigated. May cause central nervous system depression.
May cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and increased salivation.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause pulmonary edema
and severe respiratory disturbances.
Chronic:
The lungs of rats exposed daily to In2O3 at concentrations from
24-97 mg/m3 for a total of 224 hrs showed evidence of widespread
alveolar edema, which differs from the usual toxic edema fluid by
being granular and containing a few alveolar phagocytes,
polymorphonuclear cells, & nuclear debris. The injury was further
characterized by alteration of the alveolar walls by spindle-shaped
& other type cells. The lesion showed little change either during
exposure or after a 12-week postexposure period, & no fibrosis
resulted from the healing process. Thus, In2O3 dust uniquely produces
a widespread alveolar stasis resembling alveolar proteinosis in which
alveolar clearance is reduced. Associated chronic respiratory
insufficiency, recurrent acute pneumonitis, or complicating
infections may result in a fatal outcome.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Flammable solid. May burn rapidly with flare
burning effect. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Dousing
metallic fires with water may generate hydrogen gas, an extremely
dangerous explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media:
Use only graphite powder, soda ash, powdered sodium chloride, or an
appropriate metal-fire-extinguishing dry powder. Dousing metallic
fires with water may generate hydrogen gas, an extremely dangerous
explosion hazard, particularly if fire is in a confined environment.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into
a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty
conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks
and flame. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Avoid breathing dust.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep
airborne levels to acceptable levels.

Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to
prevent skin exposure.

Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
