Abstract：With the development of industrial and agricultural,Pb pollution has become one of the most serious problems jeopardizing human health.Due to complex origins of Pb,to quickly and accurately identify the pollution source and transformation mechanism is vital in prevention of Pb pollution in soils.On the other hand,with the development of isotope detection technology,lead isotope has gradually become an important approach to tracing the source of heavy metal pollution.In this paper,the lead isotope tracing mechanism and composition characteristics are elucidated,in addition,numbers of applications,home and abroad,of tracking Pb pollution sources are introduced which reflects the status quo of application of Pb isotope tracer technology.Furthermore,the migration rate and migration path are analyzed,as well the degree of pollution and source apportionment.Finally,the problems in the application of Pb isotope tracing technology and its development prospect are reviewed,for the purpose of providing references for research of Pb source apportionment and the application to soil pollution control.
