In the present study, green synthesized zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS NPs) from the leaves of the medicinal plant, Abrus precatorius , were characterized and tested for toxicity using Eudrilus eugeniae . The formation of ZnS NPs through green synthesis was confirmed by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, F...
