Abstract

Everything has changed after outbreak of COVID-19. It’s the time to take precautions and do every possible effort to mitigate the effects of pandemic and curb the chances of any future outbreak. Recently Moradabad city was listed among one of the highest polluted city of the India. One of the major contributor to the pollution was found the use of coal furnaces in local industries for casting of Metal. As per the latest report of National Green Tribunal (NGT) and central pollution control board, Moradabad city is the highly polluted city of India and the average Air Quality Index (AQI) is 489 µg/m3 during November 01, 2020 to November 16, 2020 \cite{ref1}. Therefore, a systematic replacement of coal furnace with smart electric furnace is proposed in the given paper. The study suggests that replacement of coal furnace with smart electric furnace will not only result in better environment for Moradabad city but will also be beneficial in many other ways by exploiting inherent advantages of electric furnace over coal furnaces.
