It is generallyused as decolorisation agent, bleach in textile industry. In the otherindustrial fields such as leather processing, photographic, paper, pulp andboard industry it has a wide range of use. Industrial waste products have beencontaminated aquatic environment day after day. After one-weekadaptation period zebrafish divided into three group (n=10) as one control and2 experimental groups (3mM, 4.5mM). For investigating the effects of thioureadioxide, intestine tissues were dissected after 5 day of the exposure. Tissueswere fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin and dehydration were carried outin an ascending series of ethanol. Tissues were cleared in xylene, embedded inparaffin wax and cut into 5 µm sections on a microtome. The sections werestained with hematoxylin (H&E). Results were evaluated with lightmicroscope.In control groupnormal intestine histology have been observed. In 3 mM thiourea dioxide exposedgroup, hypertrophy and edema at muscularis externa, degeneration and necrosisat villi structure, deterioration and vacuolization at lamina propria andincrease in the number of goblet cells were observed. In 4.5 mM thioureadioxide exposed group, severe edema and hemorrhage in muscularis externa,degeneration at villi structure and vacuolization at mucosa layer weremonitored.
