  Pollution has become the most critical factor spread by forest resources through wood-based and non-wood based industries. In other words, pollution is omnipresent. In this paper, the major pollutants caused due to wood and non-wood based industries are discussed which are the primary resources of the forest in spreading the pollution. In order to study the impact of industrialization and associated pollution on forest resources, the system of non-linear ordinary differential equations is formulated. The controls are advised on both types of industries to reduce the pollution.

Introduction</title><p>The forest resources mean a large area covered by trees. It means the various types of vegetation automatically growing on forest land where forest is considered as if it grew trees in the past, or will grow trees in the future. Wood-based industries are the branch of production and employment based on the fabrication, processing and preparation of products from raw materials and merchandises of wood and wood-based pulp products. Non-wood based industries are the branch of production and employment based on fabrication, processing and preparation of products from water, energy, chemicals etc. The term “pollution” is a substance into the environment which has harmful or poisonous effects on living beings. “Pollutants” are the components of pollution. It is observed that most of the pollution is associated with man-made industries. Wood and non- wood based industries affect the environment through pollutants emitted from them merged in air as well as absorbed by forest region can be harmful for nature and can kill human organisms, essential microbes etc.</p><p>The forest resources are significant for human and some organisms. But after industrial revolution in 18<sup>th</sup> century, industries are also growing very speedy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref1">1</xref>] . This growth of wood and non-wood based industries has reduced the density of forest region. Damodar Valley, Nowamundi, Saranda are example of reduced forest resources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref2">2</xref>] . Once Damodar Valley was covering 65% of forest area, now-a-days it is surrounded by only 0.05% [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref3">3</xref>] . In past, few years, the temperature of the environment is increasing due to the emission of pollutants which is examined by scientists and ecologists. This gives opposite impact on humans and environment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref5">5</xref>] . Absorption of pollutants by the plants is harmful and which affected the growth of forest resources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref9">9</xref>] .</p><p>This motivated to formulate the system in which the effect of industrialization on the forest resources is analyzed. Some researchers have studied the mathematical model for the effects of industrialization and pollution on forest resources. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref10">10</xref>] studied the models for the effect of toxicant in single-species and predator-prey system. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref11">11</xref>] analysed the modeling effect of an intermediate toxic product formed by uptake of a toxicant on plant biomass. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref12">12</xref>] introduced the effects of industrialization and pollution on resource biomass with the help of a mathematical model. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref13">13</xref>] have performed the modeling effects of industrialization, population and pollution on renewable resources. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.76145-ref14">14</xref>] deliberated modeling effects of primary and secondary toxicants on renewable resources.</p><p>In this paper, a mathematical model is formulated with hereditary transmission of SIRS model in Section 2. The stability analysis of the transmission model is derived in Section 3. Sensitivity analysis is carried out in Section 4. Optimal control for the forest resources is discussed in Section 5. In Section 6, the model validated with numerical simulation and analysis.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Mathematical Modeling</title><p>In the society, there are different types of industries and pollution. Everybody in the society plays a role to decrease the pollution. Therefore, in the proposed model, five discrete compartments viz. the density of forest resources (F), the density of wood based industries (W), the density of non-wood based industries (I), the pollutants through wood based industries (P<sub>W</sub>) and the pollutants through non-wood based industries (P<sub>I</sub>) are considered. u<sub>1</sub> is the rate which decreases wood based industries to control the usage of forest resources. u<sub>2</sub> and u<sub>3</sub> are the control rates which decreases pollutants due to wood and non-wood based industries, respectively.</p><p>The

Conclusions</title><p>In this paper, a mathematical model is formulated to study the spread of the forest transmission with wood and non-wood based industries. An optimal control for spread of the pollutants through the forest resources to study the effects of Wood, Non-wood based industries and the pollution emitted through them on the density of forest resources. The wood-based industries reduce the density of forest resources directly by harvesting as well as indirectly by pollutants. But non-wood based industries reduce the density of forest resources only indirectly by pollutants. Therefore, by more industries the forest resources are affected and may be wiped out.</p><p>The stability of forest resources model discussed with numerical data. The basic reproduction number is computed as 0.4960, which shows that controls on construction of wood and non-wood based industries will be beneficial to reduce the pollution. This suggested growing more and more forest resources and putting up less number of industries per human usage.</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>Authors sincerely thank for the constructive comments of the reviewers.
