John Dalton was one of the first to describe color blindness, which is sometimes called Daltonism.

He also discovered the Dalton's Law which describes the relationship of Partial Pressure.

And finally he proposed the existence of atoms. He only listed 6 elements but he assigned an Atomic Weight of 1.0 to Hydrogen and then proposed weights for Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Sulfur, and Phosphorus. He further postulated that chemical combination takes place between particles of different weights, which differs from the explanations provided by the Ancient Greeks.

Also, in 1803, John Dalton created the law of multiple proportions that states that when two elements can combine to form more than one compound the amounts of one of them that combines with a fixed amount of the other will exhibit a simple multiple relation.
