We report the results of our analysis of a well observed sample of southern planetary nebulae. The average S/O and Ar/O ratios are comparable to the solar value and to those observed in galactic H II regions. The He abundance correlates with the N/O ratio, confirming the trend found by previous studies, indicating the surface contamination of the progenitors by dredge-up episodes.
