Abstract Efflux studies of radio‐labelled methylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) encapsulated in liposomes afford the following permeability values for the two arsenicals: 1.4 × 10 −13 cm s −1 and 4.5 × 10 −11 cm s −1 for MMA and DMA, respectively. These data are compared with the octanol/water partition coefficients which are 7.4 × 10 −3 and 8.4 × 10 −3 for MMA and DMA, respectively.
