IRAS data have been used to determine the far-infrared flux density of NGC 7283. The broadband IRAS flux densities at 12 and 25 μm are mainly due to atomic line emission; only a small fraction is due to emission from a dust continuum. The 60 and 100 μm emission however is due to dust. Abundance estimates are made for some of the important ions. Due to the large angular size of the nebula it is possible to derive radial abundance profiles. These support the assertion that line emission plays an important role. A limited comparison with other nebulae has been made.
