| hazards summary | Ionic indium is toxic to the kidneys. Colloidal indium is toxic to the liver. A single case report of pulmonary fibrosis: worker was exposed for 4 years to indium-tin oxide in a plant making flat-panel plasma screens. A study of interstitial lung disease in indium-processing workers suggested that inhaled indium could be a potential cause of occupational lung disease. A TLV-TWA of 0.1 mg/m3, measured as indium, is recommended for occupational exposure to indium and its compounds. This value is intended to minimize the potential for adverse effects on the lungs, including pulmonary edema, acute pneumonitis, and possible skeletal and gastrointestinal disorders.
