The distribution patterns and sources of arsenic and trace metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Fe, Al, Mn, and Ni) were investigated in wetland sediments that may be impacted by industrial and artisanal gold mining, along with those from non-mining areas in Divo (Bonikro and Agbaou sites) and Aboisso (Afema site) Departments, central-southern and south-eastern Cote d'Ivoire, respectively. Ecological risks of sediments were examined using the potential ecological risk index (PERI) and sediment quality guidelines (SQGs). Sediments from mining activities showed significantly higher total As, Pb, Cr, Ni, Mn, Cu, and Al concentrations than the ones from non-mining areas at Afema and Agbaou. On the contrary, a reverse spatial trend was observed for Al, Cr, and As at Bonikro. Geoaccumulation index showed moderate to strong contamination in Cd whatever the sites and activity types, and a relatively low contamination in Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Fe, Al, Ni, and Mn, confirmed by the enrichment factor. Extreme sediment contamination in As was observed in industrial mining areas at Afema. Artisanal mining was the main source of Mn and Ni, especially at Agbaou. On the contrary, Cd, Al, Pb, Co, Cu and Zn and Cr were mainly from lithogenic sources. Principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses showed that total organic carbon controls distributions of elements Ni and Cu at Afema, Cd and Cr at Agbaou, and Mn and Co at Bonikro. Based on PERI and SQGs, As could pose high risks to biota in industrial mining areas.
