Abstract
We report the results of an extensive survey of molecular gas in planetary nebulae (PNe) using the millimeter lines of CO. The observations provide a range of information on the kinematics, the structure, and the mass of PN envelopes, which are important for understanding the formation and evolution of the ionized nebulae from the molecular envelopes ejected during the precursor AGB and proto-PNe phases.Keywords
