摘要: In this Letter, we constrain the dust-to-gas ratio in intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshifts. We employ models for dust local Universe to contrain during epoch of reionization redshifts z ~ 6-10. The observed level reddening redshift galaxies implies that IGM was enriched an less than 3% Milky Way value by a z=10.
