1. A moisture or hydrating liquid activatable solid formulation for nitric oxide (NO) generation, comprising:
a nitrite source that is to generate NO when exposed to an effective amount of moisture or a hydrating liquid, the nitrite source being selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrites, alkyl nitrites, dicyclohexylamine nitrite, phosphazine nitrites, and nitrite salts;
a copper (I) or copper (II) catalyst;
an NO generation accelerant present in an amount of from about 27 wt % to about 50 wt % based on a total weight of the moisture or hydrating liquid activatable solid formulation; and
a pH buffer present in a total amount of from about 1 wt % to about 32 wt % based on the total weight of the moisture or hydrating liquid activatable solid formulation, the pH buffer being a monobasic or a dibasic phosphate,
wherein a pH of the moisture or hydrating liquid activatable solid formulation is from greater than 4 to about 9.0.
