), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2)
were measured with a handheld sensor inside the 150 m long cave. The visitors
smelled sulfur outside the entrance and inside the cave. H2S
concentrations of up to 60 ppm were measured inside the cave. Exposure to concentrations
of H2S this high are potentially harmful, and exposure to 60 ppm for
1 hour can cause severe breathing problems
