Hmmmmmmmmm. However that's kind of an open letter and leaving yourself wide open.
I do understand your being frustrated. And yes it's not the 1st time somebody with a legitimate concern was "quieted" in order to cover some "behinds" higher up.
There was that poor smuck that was poisoned in the Armed Forces and has been stone walled the whole way.
Plus there are how many cases of Walkerton Water poisoning from e-coli and heavy metals from the battery plant. Hundreds of legitimate claims and concerns are being buried by government bureaucrats who know what is good for their carriers.
In you line of work you have been exposed to old diesel fuel, lube oil and algae growth. Then there is all the mold, must, dust and bird crap dust you have breathed in or had on your hands during lunch. And how much microwave energy have you absorbed? You do sound a little like radiation poisoning as well.
I hate to break it to you but.....Even if anything you and myself have though of as possible problems are true. "You can't fight city hall". Discrediting you is the fastest and easiest way to get rid of you. Getting you worked up and frustrated is part of the game.
About all you can do is document everything the best you can and make certain your insurance and affairs of your estate are in order. Then go fishing with the kids/grandkids and enjoy what you can.
As bad as it maybe. You are not the 1st person to be harmed in the workplace. Asbestos, uranium mining, refinery workers making leaded gasoline, any industry making of using organic chemicals. even farmers breathing in mold and dust from hay, grain and manure. Even working in the great outdoors can aggravate skin cancer.
