The best indicators of the reddening in the narrow-line regions of AGN are ratios of pairs of forbidden lines arising from a common upper level. The ratios of [SII] λ4072/λ10320 and [OII] λ7325/λ2470 are good examples, but they include lines in the far ultraviolet and infrared regions which are difficult to observe.
