Abstract: [Objective] To provide a gas sensor which can improve the sensitivity to NOX. [Means for Solution] A reduction section 18 for reducing NO2 contained in exhaust gas to NO is provided on the upstream side of a first diffusion resistor section 103 provided to limit the flow of the exhaust gas into a first measurement chamber 101. When NOX passes through the first diffusion resistor section 103, NO2 which is greater in molecular weight than NO is lower in the degree of diffusion than NO. Since NO2 is reduced to NO at the reduction section 18, the exhaust gas passing through the first diffusion resistor section 103 hardly contains NO2. Therefore, the speed of flow of NOX through the first diffusion resistor section 103 is not limited by NO2, whereby sensitivity for detection of NOX can be improved.
