Abstract
The hypothesis that interstellar dust is associated with cold gas is advanced. To test this, such observational features of the gas that depend predominantly on the cold gas have to be isolated. Two such features are discussed, the 21-cm line strength in absorption and the intensity of narrow emission line components in intermediate galactic latitudes. It is shown that both features have a good correlation with the dust extinction. Various measurements of the gas to dust ratio are collected and some implications for the interstellar medium are discussed.
