Calorimetric evaluation of interaction and absorption of polychlorinated biphenyls by biomembrane models

► Interaction and absorption of three PCB with biomembrane models was studied by DSC. ► The tested compounds affected the behaviour of biomembrane model. ► The medium effect on absorption of PCB by the biomembrane models was investigated. ► The absorption was hindered by the aqueous medium but favoured by the lipophilic one.
