Most of the people living and working in urban areas lives unhealthy glamorous life neglecting their health. Substantial population mainly in urban centres are affected by air pollution related diseases. Air comprises of oxygen, which is vital for survival of human beings. The oxygen less air circulating in poorly air conditioned buildings with indoor pollutants is causing serious health problems. The physical conditions are having effect on teaching and learning process in education centres. Similarly, the physical conditions are having effect on work rate of the workers in offices. In the recent decade various researchers all around the world have monitored the indoor pollutant levels and their effects on the inmates in educational centres and offices showing indoor pollutants as silent invisible killer. In education centres and offices, indoor air pollutants have crossed the prescribed limit due to use of new emerging materials in decorating the interiors of these campuses. The indoor air pollutants should be within prescribed limit being more susceptible to its pollution impacts on inmates. In this review study, impacts of various indoor pollutants on inmates of education centres and offices are distinguished, and inmates in these environments is concentrated on and expressed. The review paper suggests the urge of controlling the increasing indoor pollution in the education centres and offices for a healthy environment.
