Nebulae surrounding isolated Pop I WR stars provide observational constraints on as yet poorly determined chemical surface abundances and FUV energy distributions of their central stars. An integral of the mass loss history and the chemical evolution is stored in those parts of the nebulae that have suffered only very little mixing with the ISM (cf. Kwitter 1984). Effective temperatures in the Lyman continuum region are reflected in the ionization structure of oxygen and sulfur (cf. Mathis 1982). For intrinsic problems involved refer to the papers cited above.
