IAU Symposium 209, edited by S. Kwok, M. Dopita,
R. Sutherland, ASP, 551-558 (2003)
Recent applications of PN to the study of
galactic chemical evolution are reviewed, such as PN and
stellar populations, abundance gradients, including
their space and time variations, determination of
the He/H radial gradient and of the helium-to-metals
enrichment ratio, and the [O/Fe] x [Fe/H]
relation in the solar neighbourhood and in the
galactic bulge.
