<p><bold>Error in Figure 2</bold></p>
<p>There was a mistake in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 2</xref> as published. The sample numbers/location Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4 were missing from the upper section of <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 2</xref>. The corrected <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 2</xref>, with the sample numbers Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4, appears below.</p>
<fig position="float" id="F1">
<label>Figure 2</label>
<caption><p>Sampling site: the &#x0201C;Sgraffito&#x0201D; wall art and the adjacent concrete wall, indicating the positions of sampling points Y1-Y8 (above), together with close-up photographs of the samples collected in this study (at the lower portion of the figure).</p></caption>

<alt-text content-type="machine-generated">Composite figure showing two outdoor wall types separated by a path: a sgraffito wall-art with plant and human designs, labeled Y1 to Y4, and a bare concrete wall with a geometric art piece, labeled Y5 to Y8. Below, close-up photos for each labeled location Y1-Y8 display surface condition details along with rulers or measurement tools. Gloved hands are visible in some close-ups handling tools or samples.</alt-text>
