An NOx detection apparatus computes a first NOx concentration NOxpo on the basis of a second pumping current Ip2, and sets correction coefficients a, b (concentration variation correction information) on the basis of the first NOx concentration NOxpo. Therefore, the NOx detection apparatus can set the correction coefficients a, b in accordance with the concentration of NOx actually contained in a to-be-measured gas. Since the NOx detection apparatus uses Equation 3, determined by the correction coefficients a, b, for correction of the first NOx concentration NOxpo, the NOx detection apparatus can correct the first NOx concentration NOxpo in accordance with the state of change of the NOx concentration even when the magnitude of an output variation caused by a pressure change changes depending on the NOx concentration. |
