Serpentine soil is made up of minerals high in magnesium, such as chrysotile, lizardite, and antigorite. The fig tree (Ficus carica) is a globally important plant. It is a nutritive food that is also employed in industrial processes. The distribution of heavy metal concentrations such as Nickel, Cobalt, Zinc, and Manganese in different portions of this plant, such as its leaves, stems, and fruits, is investigated in this study. The organic acid content, which included citric acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid, was also calculated. The researched location is Kunjirin, a village in Mawat town located in the northwest extension of the Zagros-fold-thrust belt. Kurdistan Region of Iraq, north-east of Sulaimani Province. Except for zinc, the results demonstrate that there are considerable disparities in heavy metal levels among plant organs. The fruits have the lowest concentration of heavy metals, whereas the leaves have the highest concentration. Furthermore, the organic acids were distributed unevenly throughout the plant organs. The stem, on the other hand, had the lowest level of organic acid, whilst the fruit region of the plant had the highest concentration of organic acids. The results of this study show that the levels of heavy metals in the fruit are within legally permissible limits. This means that both humans and animals are capable of eating such fruits.
