Abstract

Rapidly rising population and increasing urbanization have the potential for producing a high level of pollution. Pollutants have the ability to change the distributions of patterns of plants and animals. Some of the main pollutant categories are water pollutants, air pollution, pesticides, and radioactive waste. Most abundantly toxicants are produced by the chemical and medical industries. We used food crops that are produced by using pesticide and herbicides, etc. Due to the enormous variety of toxic substances are present in the atmosphere, it is challenging task to determine the potential ecological and human health risk. Keeping all these things in mind, in this paper, a non-linear mathematical model is developed to examine the existence and survival of the human population in a polluted environment. For this, we have assumed four variables the human population, population pressure, urbanization, and toxicants and considered that the human population propagates logistically, urbanization and toxicants propagate at the constant rate. The qualitative analysis of the system shows that the rapid increase in urbanization increases the toxicants in the environment which causes the growth of the human population decrease. Some numerical simulations are also made to examine the validity of the model.
