A combined photoionization and dust model is presented for the carbon-poor, optically thick, planetary nebula in the galactic halo, DDDM-1. The abundance of silicate grains is varied to produce a match with observed IRAS fluxes at 25 and 60 μm. The derived dust-to-gas ratio, 1.1×10-3, is about a factor 5 lower than the ratio for disc planetaries of similar size. Details are given of the heating and temperature distribution of grains in this type of planetary nebula with a neutral region. Upper limits for the infrared fluxes of two other galactic halo nebulae are given. It is suggested that DDDM-1 is the only such object detected because of its higher abundance of heavy elements.
