HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF CHLORINE HEPATOTOXICITY IN MICE

ABSTRACT

Chlorine is the most common chemical agent that used in the sterilization of water, whether it be across the board or specifically in Iraq. The aim of this study was to look into the livers of mice that exposed to various chlorine concentrations in drinking water. 30 mature male albino mice were allocated into three groups at random and equally. Each group included ten mice from different labor groups who were given ppm (3, 9 ppm). According to the results of histopathological examination, chlorine consumption generated gross pathogenic effect in clinical practice in livers tissue in entire treatment groups, with varying degrees of illness according to the chlorine concentration. Such as degeneration (D) of hepatocytes with nucleus size increase (NE), congestion in the central vein, which was encircled by lymphocyte infiltration (LI) and increase thickness of blood vessels wall.
