Abstract :
In this work, we present a telemetry system of environmental parameters installed in the Sorbas gypsum caves (Almeria, Spain) destined to study the influence of the visits in the conservation of the caves and to determine the minimum time between visits. The information of parameters like the concentration in CO2 of the air, temperature, relative humidity and human presence, are sent in real time via radio to the data management centre in the University of Almeria and publish then in a Web site also in real time
