The acute toxicity test was based on 96 h static renewal bioassay which resulted in 96 h 50% value of 9.5% (v/v). Liver and kidney were examined in a 96 h LC50 acute test. Histopathological examination reveled, swollen hepatocytes, nuclear hypertrophy, rupture sinusoids, hemorrhages, vacuolation in hepatic cells and broken central vein in liver, kidney showed hypertrophy of hematopoietic tissues, cell necrosis, blocked glomerules with full of blood stain, dilated renal tubules with pyknotic nuclei and tubular necrosis. Overall, data from this research indicates that a paper mill effluent brought histopathological changes in the fish Rasbora daniconius. ER -
