Polluting substances when released into environment become one of the main factors of environmental pollution since they cause changes to the chemical composition of water, bottom sediments and soil; they also disturb the biological balance and self-cleaning processes of the ecosystem that may lead to unpredictable alterations within the ecosystem. Together with the chemical and physical techniques the methods of bioindication and biotesting are employed in the current research on environmental pollution and its impact on the ecological integrity of ecosystems, The aim of this paper was to determine the sensitivity of a test-organism L sativum to the toxic impact of different types of samples (liquid or solid: surface water, industrial wastewater, industrial storm water, landfill leachate, lake bottom sediments and sludge from industrial storm water sedimentation tank) from urban environment and chemical substances and to demonstrate the possibilities of application of this plant in both the toxicological investigation and environmental pollution assessment. The results of conducted investigation have proved that L. sativum is a sufficiently universal, cheap and sensitive biotest for determination of toxicity of different types of samples (storm water, bottom sediments, soil, wastewater from industrial sites, landfill leachate) and included chemical substances. Therefore, it can be successfully applied in the environmental pollution assessment.
