Hmm... I don't wanna figure out the exact numbers, but I don't think a mountain-mass black hole would have a whole lot of gravity. So it wouldn't actually do much in the way of pulling other objects towards it, and as for air molecules, a breeze would be strong enough to carry anything away from it...

I'm not saying that it wouldn't eat matter, I'm just saying that it would probably happen pretty slowly. An atom would have to get really close to be affected.
