A gas concentration detecting system has a first cell generating electric current at first oxygen sensitivity, a second cell generating current at second oxygen sensitivity and a reference cell generating current at reference oxygen sensitivity. The cells have the same structure except that the second cell has a catalyst layer for removing hydrogen as from measured gas containing oxygen gas. The system determines first corrected current from current of the first cell exposed to measured gas, current of the first cell exposed to inspection gas containing oxygen gas at reference concentration and reference cell current of the reference cell exposed to inspection gas, determines second corrected current from current of the second cell exposed to measured gas, current of the second cell exposed to inspection gas and the reference cell current, and detects concentration of hydrogen gas in measured gas from the corrected currents.
