Scientific paper

Emission lines from H II regions and planetary nebulae are contamiated by shock waves produced by stellar winds and supernova remnants. This effect is studied and it is found that it could be responsible for: (1) the difference between the O/H abundances derived from the O nebular lines coupled with H II region models and those derived from the observed I(4363)/I(5007) ratio; (2) the large t2 values observed in the Orion nebula and M 8; (3) the difference between the stellar and the H II region O/H abundances in the solar neighborhood; (4) the large (S U)/H ratios observed in H II galaxies; and (5) the low O/H ratios and the N/O versus O/H anticorrelation found in Type I PN and shell nebulae around Population I stars.
