Hollywood love to blow things up, do they have to pay any special polluters tax or fee for it?

It is no secret; Hollywood loves to blow stuff up. Those explosion throw what appears to be a lot of pollution in the air. Check it out, here and here, not to mention what ends up in the water. When they shoot overseas I suspect they can do about what they wish because there is nothing close to OSHA, EPA, etc over there, plus the host nation could use the bucks to have Hollywood come to town.

Here in my area there are many refineries and when something goes wrong and they let chemicals out into the air, they get fined heavily. There is also Spare The Air days where if you burn leaves or brush, run your gas mower, or leaf blower, use a fireplace, fire up a BBQ, you can be ticketed or fined. How can Hollywood get away with causing what seem like a lot of pollution with their explosions?
