In this work a procedure was applied to verify that self-absorption does not affect the spectral lines used in the experimental determination of the electron density and the gas temperature in surface wave discharges at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the values of electron density and gas temperature obtained are not perturbed by this phenomenon.
