The most forbidding feature of Jupiter is it’s surface gravity of 2.5 g . You could live in a space station in orbit around the planet ( assuming you could deal with the radiation belts,) but any kind of habitat floating in the atmosphere is out of the question.

Volcanoes release sulfur and sulfur oxide, which fall back down to the surface. Sulfur oxide condenses too because of the low surface temperature.
