California State Of Mind

They’re in your food. They’re in your drinks. They’re in the air. Microplastics are pretty much everywhere. And California may become the first place in the world to attempt limits on how much of it can be in your drinking water. On this week’s California State of Mind, Elizabeth talks with CalMatters’ Rachel Becker about how the state is planning for possible new restrictions even though there are large gaps in scientific data about how dangerous they are.

Also, if you’re still not sure when you might be able to get in line for the COVID vaccine, we’ll have the latest on eligibility rules. And Gavin Newsom starts the fight to keep his job. CalMatters’ Ana B. Ibarra and CapRadio’s Chris Nichols join Nicole in this week’s reporter roundtable.
