铅中毒是一种重要的环境疾病，其对人体的影响是毁灭性的。人体几乎没有不受铅毒性影响的功能。虽然在美国、加拿大等国家铅的使用已得到一定程度的控制，但在发展中国家，铅的使用仍很激烈。这主要是因为铅具有独特的物理和化学性质，使其适合于人类从历史上就利用其利益的大量应用，因此它已成为一种常见的环境污染物。铅在环境中具有高度持久性，由于其持续使用，几乎每个国家的铅含量都会上升，构成严重威胁。本文综述了有关铅毒性的文献和最新进展。重点还放在铅对肾脏、生殖系统和神经系统的毒性影响上。最后介绍了治疗铅中毒的技术和最新进展。
Lead toxicity is an important environmental disease and its effects on the human body are devastating. There is almost no function in the human body which is not affected by lead toxicity. Though in countries like US and Canada the use of lead has been controlled up to a certain extent, it is still used vehemently in the developing countries. This is primarily because lead bears unique physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for a large number of applications for which humans have exploited its benefits from historical times and thus it has become a common environmental pollutant. Lead is highly persistent in the environment and because of its continuous use its levels rise in almost every country, posing serious threats. This article reviews the works listed in the literature with recent updates regarding the toxicity of lead. Focus is also on toxic effects of lead on the renal, reproductive and nervous system. Finally the techniques available for treating lead toxicity are presented with some recent updates.
