Does anyone know for sure what toxins military soldiers were exposed to at Fort McClellan, Alabama?

From 1935-1999, active duty soldiers at Fort McClellan, Alabama (Anniston) were exposed to numerous toxins and are becoming ill and dying. I am one of those who was exposed between May-Sept 1978. I am trying to find out exactly which toxins I was exposed to. I know of Uranium, Sarin nerve agent, VX nerve agent, asbestos, PCB's (Primary component of Agent Orange) due to the collapse of a smokestack at the Anniston Monsanto plant. The people of Anniston were awarded $700 million through a class action lawsuit against Monsanto. We military people were never informed of being exposed to these toxins and I just discovered this today. The government has known about this for years and has kept it hidden to avoid paying damages to us veterans who were exposed. Just like they did to the U.S. vets in Vietnam, concerning agent orange. I am trying to find information on additional toxins besides those that I listed. This way, I know how to address my doctor on what I was exposed to and how it may relate to my medical issues. Thanks.
