No. Iodine is released into the air by humans through coal and fuel oil burning power plants, and also by the ocean, with the ocean being a much larger supplier. The iodine is not harmful, and will typically return to the soil or ocean. While iodine can be radioactive, it normally decays quickly and becomes stable again.
The only form of iodine that has potential to be dangerous to the environment is a radioactive form that has a half-life of millions of years, and is released by nuclear power plants.
