    Abstract: This invention relates to a thermoelectrical method and apparatus for measuring the concentration of a gas, and, in particular, a reactive gas (i.e. gasses that may be reacted to produce by-products and which produce heat or remove heat from a system as a result of the reaction) using the electrical resistance of a member upon exposure to the reactive gas. Examples of such gases include, ozone, oxygen, nitrogen or oxides of nitrogen, and the like. In the instant invention, a thermoelectric means is provided to generate a signal which is associated with a display to provide a readout of the concentration of the gas.
