Abstract The investigations on the Plasma Laser Star Model of QSOs reported in our previous paper are continued. Here we assume that QSOs are early type stars with temperatures in the range 104–105 K. It is pointed out that the spectral lines of such stars may have asymmetric shapes and large broadening leading to errors in measurement up to 20 Å. The conventional red-shift theory, however, allows fitting errors much more than this amount for many QSO emission lines. By taking the abundances of elements in QSO atmsopheres identical with the average cosmic abundance we analyze and compare the interpretations of the emission lines of 330 QSOs (263 QSOs are from Burbidgeet al.'s list and the rest are more recently discovered (QSOs) according to the new and the conventional theories.
