Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(AAS),Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry(XRF) were used for determining lead in polluted soil.As compared to the detection limit,precision and accuracy. The results showed that,the three methods could meet the requirement of quality control,there was no significant difference among the determination results.Compared with the method of AAS,ICP-OES and XRF,ICP-OES and XRF method can simultaneously determine multiple elements,but XRF is more rapid and simple.
