population explosion
We have the relevant sense of explosion (rapid increase) and the sense isn't limited to population either. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:34, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, it is idiomatic, it is not an explosion, it is a rapid increase.Lucifer (talk) 03:29, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

 * This term is used a lot to describe large increases in human births and since the rampant sense of "explosion" is a large blast of chemicals, this is no SOP and we should keep it, especially since it is a pretty common collocation as well.Lucifer (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
