However, WHO also considered that "this necessarily reflects only a fraction of the real problem." 10 9 Recent figures worldwide are elusive, but the WHO estimated in 1990 that there are around 3 million hospital admissions for pesticide poisoning each year, 2 million of which are as a result of deliberate ingestion, and these result in around 220,000 deaths. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reported an annual average of 7385 emergency room visits during 2006 to 2008, and 1419 annual hospitalizations during 2005 to 2009. In the United States, an average of more than 130,000 calls to poison control centers were reported from 2006 to 2010, with an average of more than 20,000 cases treated in health care facilities annually. Human Health Effects Acute Exposure (Poisoning) Many pesticides are also considered endocrine disruptors (EDCs), noted for their effects on our endocrine systems, and/or persistent organic pollutants (POPs), noted for their longevity, toxicity to humans and animals, and ability to be transported around the globe through the atmosphere. Pesticides can kill their target pests but may also harm other organisms, including humans. Because many organisms share similar biological mechanisms, the effects of pesticides often are not specific to one type of organism. Pesticides work by interfering with necessary biological mechanisms in pests.
