What is PN-Carbon Yields and the Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy about?

Two sets of observational carbon stellar yields for low-and-intermediate mass stars are computed from planetary nebulae abundances derived from C II $\lambda4267$ and C III $\lambda\lambda1906+1909$ lines, respectively. By comparing C/O values observed in stars of the solar vicinity and Galactic HII regions with those predicted by chemical evolution models for the Galaxy, which assume these observational yields, I conclude that the C abundances derived from permitted lines are better than those derived from forbidden lines.
