As the Gastropoda family is a feeder filter, it<br />is very useful to examine the trace elements as well as toxic elements in the environment<br />where it survives. The elements detected in the samples are Mg, Al, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn,<br />Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Sr and the elemental concentrations were compared with FAO<br />limits to check their toxic levels. The elements detected so far are the time integral of their<br />concentration so, that are several orders of magnitude above ambient water<br />concentrations. The analysis of the elements was done with the help of energy dispersive<br />X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) for its quick and multi-elemental detection capability.<br /></span><p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 8pt;"> <em>Keywords: Pila globosa</em>, Biomonitoring, Loktak lake, Trace elements, EDXRF</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Sustainable Development}, author={Sharat Singh, N.K. and Sudarshan, M.
