Radium can be found underground, (naturally) and they are inactive. However, they will become active under 2 conditions - if the pH of soil is low, and when there is a presence of nitrogen compounds.

So the area that receives a lot of acid deposition and people have gardens / cropland, where they apply fertilizers containing Nitrogen, then they will have problems with active radium.
