To answer the various comments/questions:
Yes, I'm sure there must be a hell of a profit. This is high-tech, secret, defense department, aerospace industry product.
No one is under duress to work there. There's plenty of alternative employment in the area, although not at those wages for the educational level (yes, I realize that hazard pay can be viewed as a form of duress - the coal mining, fracking, oil sands, and other industries all do this, although that doesn't make it right).
Job applicants are fully informed of the risks. They are given genetic testing free of charge, and the company's ethical solution is that the applicant is informed of the results of genetic testing and given the option as to whether to pursue employment. The company is never informed of the genetic test results.
The local community is fully aware of what the company does. In decades past, there were instances of community illness. With more research and the discovery of other routes of exposure, the present company admin has put controls in place such that there have been no new cases of community illness for decades.
The element of interest might be worth my job to disclose.
