A method for detecting a gaseous substance in a gas-mixture, a first measuring-variable which represents a first chemical and/or physical parameter of the gas-mixture being acquired, at least one second measuring-variable which represents a second chemical and/or physical parameter of the gas-mixture that differs from the first parameter being acquired, and a starting-measuring-instant, corresponding to the starting-instant, of the first parameter is specified when an amount of a time-derivative of the first measuring-variable exceeds a first predefined threshold-value and an amount of a time-derivative of the second measuring-variable exceeds a second predefined threshold-value, and at least one further first measuring-variable is acquired, an end instant is specified when the at least one further first measuring-variable corresponds to the starting measuring-variable, and an output signal is generated when the amount of a difference between the end instant and the starting instant is greater than a predefined minimum time span.
