Abstract

<p>As the carbon dioxide concentration in the cave increases, there are concerns about human health hazards. For this reason, the guidelines recommend atmospheric observation in caves. Akiyoshi-do Cave is one of the most visited caves globally and has been designated for protection. However, few studies have investigated the atmospheric condition and the physical and psychological effects of the air quality on tourists. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the actual conditions of the microclimate in Akiyoshi-do Cave and to understand the effects on the physical and psychological conditions of tourists.</p>
