May be only one and that is Volcanic ash. which is exploded from a vent in fragments less than 2mm in size.

Ash clouds may provide big problems for aviation. When airplanes fly through an eruption cloud a range of damage may occur depending on the concentration of volcanic ash, gas aerosols in the cloud and the actions taken by the pilot to exit the eruption cloud.

Volcanic ash-particles are like small sharp glass-particles that damage anything they come across. Because volcanic ash can fall on many things it's very harmful to the environment around the volcano.
