George L. Waldbott (January 14, 1898 – July 17, 1982), was an American physician, scientist, and leading activist against water fluoridation.
His Health Effects of Environmental Pollutants (2nd edition, March 1978) was used as a textbook in universities in the United States and abroad.
[2][3] Waldbott is noted for his fundamental research on human anaphylaxis and penicillin shock, allergy-induced respiratory problems, and later in his career, the health impact of air pollutants.
One of his many awards was from the journal Cutis in March 1972 for his manuscript co-authored with Dr. V. A. Cecilioni on Chizzola Maculae, describing the skin lesion as a diagnostic tool for the identification of chronic fluoride poisoning.
[9][10] A founder of the International Society for Fluoride Research, he was considered one of the key figures in the anti-fluoridation movement for over two decades.
