In evolved stars in the vicinity of a bright active galactic nucleus (AGN), the radiation field disrupts the chemistry leading to dust formation. The suppression of dust formation and the dissociation of H2 by the radiation field alter the mass-loss rates of the stars and have consequences for their evolution. The suppression of dust formation and the evolutionary changes affect the properties of AGN line-forming regions including their filling and covering factors and their elemental abundances.
