<p>Provided is a gas concentration measuring apparatus (1) capable of detecting an intrusion of a liquid moisture or a large quantity of a gaseous moisture in the apparatus by using an existing component. The apparatus (1) includes a light source, a sample cell disposed on an optical path of the light source and into which a sample gas is introduced, an interference component detector (5) for receiving a light of the light source which has been transmitted through the sample cell (3), and detecting an intensity of a light in a wavelength range corresponding to an absorption spectrum of an interference component, a main detector (4) for receiving the light of the light source which has been transmitted through the sample cell, and detecting an intensity of a light in a wavelength range corresponding to an absorption spectrum of a measuring target component, a calculating portion (6) for calculating a concentration of the measuring target component based on the intensity detected by the main detector (4) and the intensity detected by the interference component detector (5), an intrusion detecting portion (7) for detecting the likelihood that a performance deteriorating substance may have intruded based on the intensity detected by the interference component detector (5), and an intrusion preventing portion (51) for inhibiting a further intrusion of the performance deteriorating substance when it is detected that there is high possibility that the performance deteriorating substance may have intruded.</p> |
