ABSTRACT:
An NOx sensor has the sensor element made of an oxide, the resistance of which is varied in response to an NOx component in a gas to be measured, and a measuring portion for measuring a resistance variation of the sensor element and for detecting an NOx concentration in the gas to be measured. A catalyst is arranged at an upstream side of a flow of the gas to be measured with respect reach to the sensor element, which makes a partial pressure ratio of NO/NO.sub.2 reach to an equilibrium state and removes a CO component from the gas to be measured. A heater for adjusting a temperature is arranged at a position close to the sensor element, which maintains temperatures of the sensor element and the catalyst constant. An O.sub.2 sensor is arranged at a position close to the sensor element so that the measuring portion can detect accurately the concentration of Nox in the measurement gas by reference to the resistance of the sensor element.
