We know that when a Quincy kills a Hollow, they destroy its soul and cause an
imbalance that could destroy Soul Society and the material world if done
enough.

Are the Quincy aware of this fact? If so, why do they persist in killing
Hollows?

Do the Quincy know of the consequences of their power?


They were acutely aware of this fact. From [the Bleach
Wiki](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Quincy#Fall_of_the_Quincy), emphasis mine:

From this, I gather:

  * The Quincy may not have originally been aware of what their powers were doing.
  * They learned the true consequences after the Soul Reapers attempted some kind of negotiations with them to get them to leave Hollows to them.
  * They _disregarded the consequences_ and continued to use their powers against Hollows, due to (often) slow responses from Soul Reapers.
