Summary

Researchers used histological techniques to evaluate the impact of drinking water stored in heat-exposed plastic containers on liver and kidney tissue of male rabbits over two months. The study found histopathological changes in organs of rabbits consuming water from plastic containers versus metallic containers, indicating harmful leachate effects at elevated temperatures.

The aim of this research was conductedto evaluating the effect of plastic containers in depicting hot weather on animal health through the histological techniques for liver and kidney organs. Laboratory animal used for this purpose, in animal house of agriculture college university of karbala and the experiment appear from 4/6/2020to4/8/2020. Thirty local male rabbits, age 4 months and average weight 1100-1400gm were divided into equal three groups ;First group T1 served as controls negative (10 animals) were received water in metallic container at room temperature. Second groupT2: Control positive (10animals) were received water in plastic container at room temperature, while third group T3: also (10 animals) and received water exposed to 45ºC temperature in plastic container. Feeding and water offered ad-libtum.
