You have these options:
* The easiest one is to buy an electronic detector. They are not very precise but they tell you enough about the presence of Radon to know if you have a problem or not. They cost around 100 dollars. * Second option is to get a test kit, expose it to the conditions in your home and then send it to a lab. They will tell you back what they found. More precise but takes time. Also you have the risk of ruining the test by mistake and having to pay for the whole thing again. Read more at the links bellow.
