title: Novel estimation of lipophilic behaviour of polychlorinated biphenyls.
abstract: A novel method has been developed for the estimation of lipophilic behaviour of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using the recently introduced Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index. The results obtained are compared with the earlier reported Abraham method. The statistical analyses showed that the proposed method based on the PI index is quite useful.
