The recently observed 10-micron polarization of the Orion Nebula and the Galactic Center suggests that far infrared polarization may be found in these objects. Estimates are made of the degree of far infrared polarization that may exist in the Orion Nebula. The effects of radiation transfer are briefly considered and it is concluded that polarization observations over a range of wavelengths will be useful in deducing the optical depth structure of dust clouds.
