The study of young planetary nebulae can provide information about the ejection process of the nebular material as well as on nebular evolution and the enrichment of the interstellar medium. The youngest PN are expected to be compact and very dense, they usually show signs of variability and IR excess due to the presence of warm dust which, in some cases, seems to be mixed with the ionized gas.
