- In New Zealand in the 1930s, farmers reportedly had trouble with exploding trousers as a result of attempts to control ragwort, an agricultural weed. Farmers had been spraying sodium chlorate, a government recommended weedkiller, onto the ragwort, and some of the spray had ended up on their clothes. Sodium chlorate is a strong oxidizing agent, and reacted with the organic fibres (i.e. the wool and the cotton) of the clothes. Reports had farmers' trousers variously smoldering and bursting into flame, particularly when exposed to heat or naked flames. One report had trousers that were hanging on a washing line starting to smoke. There were also several reports of trousers exploding while farmers were wearing them, causing severe burns. The history was written up by James Watson of Massey University in a widely reported article, "The Significance of Mr. Richard Buckley's Exploding Trousers" - which later won him an Ig Nobel Prize.

- 裤子爆炸是1930年代新西兰部分农民使用政府推荐的氯酸钠作為除草剂，控制外來的农业杂草——千里光草，导致其裤子发生爆炸的事故。 事故的起因是农民喷洒氯酸钠时不慎将喷洒液沾到了衣服上。氯酸钠是一种强氧化剂，会与衣服的有机纤维（羊毛和棉花）发生氧化还原反应，因此沾染了氯酸钠的裤子容易发生自燃，导致引燃甚至起火。当裤子暴露于高温或明火时这一现象尤为严重，有目击者称曾看见挂在晾衣绳上的裤子开始冒烟。还有几起报道称，有农民穿着裤子时裤子发生爆炸，导致其严重烧伤。 新西兰梅西大学的歷史學家詹姆斯·沃森在其文章《理查德·巴克利先生的爆炸裤子的意义》中记录了这段历史，后来他因此获得了搞笑诺贝尔奖。 (zh)
