Radium has been found at very low levels in soil, water, rocks, coal, plants, and food.....
The long-lived radium-226 is found in nature as a result of its continuous formation from uranium-238 decay. ... Therefore, radium occurs naturally only as a disintegration product in the three natural radioactive decay series (thorium, uranium, and actinium series)......
