It is estimated that t years from now the population of a certain lakeside community will be changing at the rate of $0.6 t^{2}+0.2 t+0.5$ thousand people per year. Environmentalists have found that the level of pollution in the lake increases at the rate of approximately 5 units per 1,000 people. By how much will the pollution in the lake increase during the next 2 years?

In one model of the changing population $P(t)$ of a community, it is assumed that

$$\frac { d P } { d t } = \frac { d B } { d t } - \frac { d D } { d t },$$
