The bark root of Phyllanthus emblica were digested with HNO₃ and HClO₄ (4:1) and the contents of  trace elements such as As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu,  Fe, K , Mg, ,Ni, Mn, Pb, and Zn  were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The presence of beneficial element i.e., Fe, Zn, K, Mg,Mn, Ca, Co, Ni are within limit. The concentration of heavy trace elements Cu, Cr, and Cd  are within limit but the concentration of Pb and As are high.
