Description The fresh water Mollusca (Scientific name; Pila globosa) was collected from nine differentstations of Loktak lake to investigate the elemental profile in the tissue of it as it can beused as biomonitor of the pollution of water. As the Gastropoda family is a feeder filter, itis very useful to examine the trace elements as well as toxic elements in the environmentwhere it survives. The elements detected in the samples are Mg, Al, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn,Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Sr and the elemental concentrations were compared with FAOlimits to check their toxic levels. The elements detected so far are the time integral of theirconcentration so, that are several orders of magnitude above ambient waterconcentrations. The analysis of the elements was done with the help of energy dispersiveX-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) for its quick and multi-elemental detection capability. Keywords: Pila globosa, Biomonitoring, Loktak lake, Trace elements, EDXRF
