Abstract
A sensor determines a course of concentration of an adsorbent substance, such as ammonia NH.sub.3, diffusing out of a flow medium through a surface of a sensor material into the sensor material, as a function of a distance from the surface. Individual pairs of contacts are connected to supply leads and are disposed in the sensor material and optionally on the surface of the sensor material, for determining electrical conductivity of the sensor material between the contacts of the individual pairs of contacts.
