Abstract
An electrochemical gas sensor includes, as disposed on an insulating substrate, a plurality of electrodes for individually sensing a standard gas present in a surrounding atmosphere at a fixed concentration and a target gas present in the surrounding atmosphere, and a signal processing circuit for determining sensor life on the basis of sensed outputs of the standard gas. Constant detection of the sensitivity characteristics of the gas sensor is thereby attained for self-examination of the life thereof.
