We present recent advances in the determination of chemical abundances of galactic Planetary Nebulae and discuss implications resulting from the comparison with theoretical predictions. From the analysis of diagrams of abundances of N/O vs He/H, N/O vs N/H and N/O vs O/H we argue that very likely the often used solar photospheric abundance of oxygen of 8.9, in usual units, is overestimated by a factor of 2-3, as suggested by very recent work in the Sun. This would solve an astrophysical problem with the measured abundances in planetaries. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
