Hollywood is responsible for causing an unexpected special effect for the Los Angeles sky: air pollution.
A study conducted by the Environmental Institute at the University of California showed that the US film industry should be responsible for discharging 140,000 tons of toxic substances into the atmosphere every year.

Ozone and diesel waste from generators and trucks used in film sets as well as special effects explosions all contribute to thickening the fog layer covering Los Angeles.
Director of the Environment Institute Mary Nichols said that although some studios and producers have taken steps to minimize environmental damage, the lack of a uniform environmental protection strategy has hampered this effort.
"In addition to the few exceptions, our overall impression is that the calculations to protect the environment are not in a high position in the film and television industry's plans, and Hollywood is fully capable of doing so. much more to preserve the atmosphere, ' the researchers said.
The group takes the example of film producers The Day After Tomorrow who paid $ 200,000 to compensate for environmental damage caused by vehicles in the 2004 big-screen movie. Producers 2 Matrix episodes were also praised for arranging for 97% of the materials in the film field to be recycled.
However, business organizations warn that it should not be based on this report to punish the film industry that generates revenue of $ 29 billion a year and provides jobs for about 252,000 people.
