Abstract
A method of measuring a gas concentration for measuring any one of the concentrations of NOx, NO.sub.2, NO, and O.sub.2 by using one or more sensor elements utilizing a metal oxide semiconductor as a sensing element is disclosed. In the method of measuring a gas concentration, any one of the partial pressures of NO.sub.2, NO, and O.sub.2 is calculated on the basis of the following formula (1), and any one of the concentrations of NOx, NO.sub.2, NO, and O.sub.2 is measured on the basis of the calculated partial pressure; ##EQU1## wherein R is resistance and A-H and Q are constant.
