At&nbsp;the same time, they release hazardous substances to&nbsp;the environment. VOC contain various chemicals. Some of them can have short- and long-term negative effects on&nbsp;health. Short-term effects on&nbsp;health include eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, coordination impairment and nausea. Long-term effects can cause serious liver, kidney and central nervous system failure. Long-term exposure to&nbsp;high concentrations of VOC can cause cancer. In&nbsp;a&nbsp;thermal afterburner, after heating up to&nbsp;an appropriate temperature, the VOC industrial contaminants act as&nbsp;fuel, sustaining the combustion reaction on&nbsp;their own. During the combustion process, the contaminants are chemically transformed into neutral by-products, such as&nbsp;water and carbon dioxide, that can be&nbsp;safely discharged as&nbsp;flue gas.
