Abstract
The Narrow Line Region (NLR) of AGN is an important and yet poorly understood aspect of AGN. Mid-IR observations and current photionization model suggest dusty NLRs are a fundamental aspect of Seyferts. However recent observations show that this may not always be the case. To better undertand the properties of NLR in Seyferts I propose to observer 11 galaxies which are predicted to have extended dusty NLRs. This should bee seen as extended 18um emission. The goal of which is to confirm whether these galaxies truly have dusty NLR or if current theories need to be re-evaluated.
