You can't really prevent it. It is a major couse of lung cancer in the US. You can only moniter it with a simple radon detector.

It varies a lot - if you are buying a house, you should check out a website that owes nothing to real-estate sellers. There are graphs that will show how it goes in your favorite area, and which radon levels will damage people, pets, over X years. \n\nBut six inches of soil is nothing when you consider how easily that will alter. Any seller could just hire a machine & scrape that much off the surface to improve the test results. You really could check out a good independent website. If I knew what country you lived in, I'd recommend one, but since I don't, maybe others might be helpful here?  \n\nWhere I live, you can call in an environmental agency at a very small cost to help you judge. They give you a monitor,  or more than one, that you leave in place for a week, and then they call back & analyse it and advise you. It depends on whether your government will supply that service or not. \nIn some countries, there are websites that show you the average radon emission in your area, and also offer testing. \nWithout knowing where you live, or whether you only want a quick answer, it's not easy to say. If it's for a project, where? And what if they ask you which test you used?

Add some baking soda first and then pour on some vinegar. You will observe some bubble forming and the bublbles will rise very quickly. If you want to make fire instead, add some glycerine to potassium permagnate. Be very careful if you want to do this.

Without a lot of information on Radon, I would say that you should stay as long as necessary to get a new place or get the Radon "taken care of."  It's not necessarily possible to just up and leave.  You may have a lease agreement, but you can look into breaking it if you have found that the renter new of it and didn't disclaim the information before hand.

Well, you can step outside for some "fresh air", excuse yourself to the bathroom...or (this option not for the faint of hart) lie on your back, throw your legs up in the air, grab a lighter, light it and stick it next to your butt, fart and shoot a flame out your butt. Keep in mind you need the right crowd for this...I suggest a crowd of drunks. Keep in mind I've only observed this...not actually participated.

Eat healthy, take a prenatal vitamin, see your OB/GYN regularly, get plenty of rest, mild exercise (like walking) and stay hydrated.  Avoid areas where people are smoking or where there are other types of air pollutants.  Best of luck!
