Application of the method is facilitative in the more precise determination of the negative impact caused by polluted wastewater on soil vegetation. A dramatic change in species diversity and alterations in the mass and structure of the plants were revealed.

It shows the real picture of the discharged wastewater quality. The method is cheap, independent from humans factors, does not require additional permission from the entities involved in the discharge of contaminated water.
