• They can help enormously to f<strong>in</strong>e tune the previous scenarios<br />

• C & N are necessary to calculate O abundance<br />

• Ma<strong>in</strong> contributors to the global metallicity (not studied <strong>in</strong> detailed)<br />

• Sánchez-Blázquez et al. 2003 → CN depends on environment<br />

d=–0.029±0.006<br />

d=–0.010±0.003<br />

• CN depends <strong>in</strong> a complex way on C, N <strong>and</strong> O<br />
