The role of hadronization mechanism in polarization phenomena in semi inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and a purity method for extraction of polarized distribution functions are discussed. According to the Monte Carlo (MC) event generator, on which this method is based, hadrons can be produced via quark (diquark) fragmentation or light cluster decays. In contrast, the purity method assumes that only quark fragmentation gives contribution to hadron production in the current fragmentation region. The ignorance of contributions from diquark fragmentation and cluster decays to asymmetry can be source of incorrect values of polarized quark distributions extracted by the purity method.
