Zusammenfassung:In a method for determining an NO2 concentration and/or a concentration ratio of NO2 and NO in an exhaust tract of a combustion device, such as an internal combustion engine, an NOx sensor that is sensitive with respect to NO2 and NO is utilized, which provides a NOx output signal correlating with an NOx concentration representing the sum of the concentrations of NO2 and NO. In order to determine the NO2 concentration and/or the concentration ratio of NO2 and NO, the NOx output signal of a first NOx sensor, which is arranged upstream of an exhaust gas treatment element arranged in the exhaust tract and having the capability of converting NO to NO2 and/or converting NO2 to NO, is compared to the NOx output signal of a second NOx sensor, which is disposed downstream of the exhaust gas treatment element.
