Short answer probably not depends on whats being seeded into the clouds. The subject is open to debate and there are lots of conspiracy theories. As far as I know no person has ever been directly harmed as a result of cloud seeding for weather control.

"silver iodide can cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury to humans and mammals with intense or continued but not chronic exposure. However, there have been several detailed ecological studies that showed negligible environmental and health impacts.[14][15][16] The toxicity of silver and silver compounds (from silver iodide) was shown to be of low order in some studies. These findings likely result from the minute amounts of silver generated by cloud seeding, which are 100 times less than industry emissions into the atmosphere in many parts of the world, or individual exposure from tooth fillings.[17] Accumulations in the soil, vegetation, and surface runoff have not been large enough to measure above natural background."-from wikipedia on cloudseeding

Where does cloud seeding happen?

Cloud seeding is done in arid areas - where clouds might form, but not produce rain. Seeding the cloud with microscopic 'dust' - forces water droplets to form - which eventually combine and fall as rain.

What is artificial rain inducement?

Artificial rain inducement is know as cloud seeding. There are three methods for cloud seeding: static, dynamic and hygroscopic.Static cloud seeding is done by spreading silver iodide, or another chemical substance like it, into clouds. The moisture in the air condenses around the silver iodide molecules and then falls to the ground in the form of rain.Dynamic cloud seeding is basically a much more complex form of static cloud seeding. Dynamic cloud seeding is divided into eleven complicated steps, and failure to properly complete one of them can result in the ruin of the entire project. Thus, dynamic cloud seeding is generally considered more unstable than static cloud seeding.Hygroscopic cloud seeding involves shooting salt crystals into the lower regions of clouds. The moisture in the clouds condenses on the salt crystals and than falls down to the grown as rain.

What is cloud seeding and is it effective?

Cloud seeding - is dropping quantities of microscopic particles into the upper atmosphere - with the intention that water molecules will 'stick' to the particles - and thus create rain.
