Abstract

A sensor for the optical determination by fluorescence of carbon dioxide in liquid and gaseous media, which consist essentially of a carrier and a light-sensitive layer applied thereto. In addition to a polymer as a base substance and an anionic fluorescence dye, the light-sensitive layer also contains a quaternary onium phenolate.
