· In Senegal, the environmental impact of artisanal smallscale gold mining (ASGM) using mercury (Hg) is poorly documented despite its intensifiion over the past two decades. We report here a complete dataset including the distribution and speciation of Hg in soil, sediment, and water in pristine and ASGM impacted sites of the Gambia River ecosystem (Kedougou region eastern Senegal).
