Abstract: In the current paper, the "simple" diagnostics
for characterization of nonequilibrium chemically active plasmas are
discussed. As to experimental methods, "simple" noninvasive
spectroscopic methods of ionizing and recombining plasma characterization
have been emphasized. The word "simple" in the title is presented
in quotes, which means that the methods are assumed to be simple only
conditionally. In order to be sure that the measurements indeed provide
correct information on the plasma parameters, a detailed understanding
of kinetics of each particular plasma source is required. Moreover,
the validity of spectroscopic methods should be checked by independent
diagnostic techniques.
