OH/IR stars and carbon stars are examples of evolved stars known to lose mass rapidly. In a recent paper (Rose 1987) we have described calculations of infrared continuum radiation from dust in stellar winds from red giants. We compare calculated radiative models with recent infrared measurements and estimate the total contribution of evolved stars to the mid-infrared background radiation observed from the Milky Way and M31.
