It is well known that the toxicants present in the environment affect the growth of any biological population living in that habitat. It also affects the carrying capacity of the environment with respect to that biological population. In this paper we are considering two logistically growing biological populations competing for a common resource under the effect of a toxicant and we’ve assumed that the first population discharges toxicant which is harmful to the second population only. Since, condition of the population and their habitat are limited therefore, keeping the above in the mind, here we’ve proposed a mathematical model to study the behaviour of the two competing population and observed that one species dies away as the time lapses due to the effect of the toxicants. It has been shown further that under certain conditions both the competing species can coexist in a long run
