○ cadmium
○ urethane
○ dioxin
○ mercury

1. the environmental contaminant that may be found in fried carbohydrate foods is

○ acrylamide
○ sulfate
○ dioxin
○ cadmium

Explanation:

1. Urethane can form during the fermentation process in alcoholic beverages and is a known environmental - related contaminant in them. Cadmium, dioxin, and mercury are not typically associated with contaminants in alcoholic beverages in the same way.
2. Acrylamide is formed when frying carbohydrate - rich foods at high temperatures through a chemical reaction called the Maillard reaction. Sulfate, dioxin, and cadmium are not characteristic contaminants of fried carbohydrate foods.

Answer:

1. Urethane
2. Acrylamide
