Tin dioxide based sensors with different additives were constructed and tested in air environment containing carbonmonoxide. Conductance oscillations were observed in samples containing palladium but not in those without.Oscillations occurred at temperatures ranging from 150℃ to 320℃. Within this temperature region the range of COconcentrations at which oscillations appeared became higher as the test temperature increased. The lowest COconcentration at which oscillations were observed was 200 ppm and the highest 10000 ppm
