The heavy metal(loid)s pollution in farmland soils becomes an increasing concern due to threatening human health through the food chain.For preventing further deterioration of agricultural soils from heavy metal(loid)s，it is essential to better know the status of heavymetal(loid)s pollutant in farmland soils on a national scale and main pollution sources posed by human activities in China as comprehensive as possible.The monitoring data in the literature(2008～2018)on heavymetal(loid)s polluted soils originating from different regions was collected to analyze in thiswork.The paper then evaluated the pollutionlevels，potentialrisks，accumulation in recent 30 years and main pollution sources caused by human activities on seven heavymetal(loid)s(Cd，Pb，Cr，Hg，As，Cu，andNi)of farmlandsoils.The results showed that the farmland soils polluted with heavymetal(loid)s inShaanxi，Gansu，Xinjiang，Guangdong，Hainan，Hunan，Henan，Zhejiang，Beijing，Shanxi，Jilin and Sichuan were more serious compared to otherregions，especially inShaanxi，Gansu，Xinjiang，Guangdong andHunan.The primary heavy metal pollutants in farmland soils were Cd and Hg，and the pollution resulting from these two elements in nine and five provinces/cities/regions，respectively，was above the moderatelevel.However，the human activities such asmining，industry，urbandevelopment，roadvehicles， waste treatment and agricultural production etc were main pollution sources for farmland soils polluted with heavy metal(loid)s.The pollution degree order in different pollution sources caused by human activities were mining>electronic waste dismantling>urbanism>industry>suburban activity>road vehicles>domestic wastetreatment>vegetable(protectedvegetable)producing>livestock and poultrybreeding.However，the release of pollutants from human activities such as industrial and mining processes should be tight limited as the priority option for improving agriculturalsoils，andfurthermore，the control and remediation of Cd and Hg should be prioritized due to their more serious pollution in farmlandsoils.
