Abstract
We discuss the accuracy of the abundance determinations of H u regions in our Galaxy and Other galaxies. We focus on the main observational constraints derived from abundance determinations that have implications for models of galactic chemical evolution: a) the helium to hydrogen abundance ratio, He/H; b) the oxygen to hydrogen abundance ratio, O/H; c) the carbon to oxygen abundance ratio, C/O; d) the helium to oxygen and helium to heavy elements abundance ratios, ΔY/ΔO and ΔY/ΔZ; and e) the primordial helium abundance, Y p .
