Larger particles orbiting around Io or Jupiter could be a serious
problem, esp. for manned missions in the distant future.


The shielding you'll need to keep the radiation belt particles
from the people will likely also take care of the Io dust.
Jupiter has really intense radiation particles trapped in its
magnetic field.


Maybe those volcanoes also put larger pieces (several mm-s, cm-s, maybe
even larger) on orbit.
