Each Pollutant Got Its Own Clock
AirFlow separates slow context from rapid changes instead of forcing every air-quality channel through one temporal backbone.

Summary
AirFlow separates slow context from rapid changes instead of forcing every air-quality channel through one temporal backbone.
AirFlow uses pollutant-aware normalization and dual temporal streams on station observations, aiming to preserve long context while tracking fast concentration changes. The authors position the method against shared-latent forecasting systems that blur channel-specific periodicity and distribution shifts. Reported tests support the architecture's forecasting gains, but the preprint does not turn a model forecast into a public-health determination; local agencies and measured conditions remain authoritative.
