An electrochemical cell for the detection of chlorine which includes a gold working electrode and a counter electrode, with or without a reference electrode, comprising either gold or platinum black which operate in a substantially non-aqueous electrolyte consisting preferably of lithium perchlorate dissolved in an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of .gamma.-butyrolactone and propylene carbonate. A fixed potential is maintained between the working electrode and a referenced air electrode of between +500 to -700 mv, and, preferably, between -100 to -150 mv.
