Best Answer

Plutonium can be found accompanying uranium minerals but only in insignificant traces.

Plutonium is obtained as an industrial product in nuclear reactors. A low pollution from nuclear facilities or nuclear weapons tests exist in the environment now.

The chemical form is probably plutonium dioxide.
