PN can be divided into four types depending on their chemical composition. In order of decreasing heavy element abundances the types are: I) He and N rich, II) intermediate population, III) high velocity, and IV) halo population. The type II PN are overabundant in N and C relative to the Orion Nebula. Well defined gradients across the galactic disk of He, N and O are derived from type II PN; the oxygen gradient is similar to the metallicity gradient derived from GK giants and F main sequence stars. By comparing the O, Ne and S abundances of PN of types III and IV with the Fe abundances of stars of similar population it is found that the O, Ne and S enrichment in the Galaxy probably took place before the Fe enrichment.
