The issue is the energy of a photon at those wavelengths. They have the energy to break even the strongest molecular bonds, and are therefore "dangerous" to any chemical** life.
I suggest an important part of the reported study will be quantifying the impact of photon energy against possible forms of chemical life.
**I say "chemical" because I read a SciFi novel 30 years ago about life on a neutron star)
